Magnetic DisksMagnetic Disks
A magnetic substance is coated on a round surface The magnetic substance can be polarized in one of
two directions with an electromagnet (“writing data”)
The electromagnet can also sense the direction of magnetic polarization (“reading data”)
Similar to a read/write head on a tape recorder (except the information is digital rather than analogue)

Track – circle Cylinder – same track on all platters Block – small arc of a track Sector – pie-shaped part of a platter Head – reads data off the disk Head crash Parked heads Number of bits on each track is the same! Denser
towards the center. CAV – constant angular velocity
Spins the same speed for every trackHard drives – 3600 rpm – 7200 rpmFloppy drives – 360 rpm

Floppy DisksFloppy Disks
Also called “flexible disks” or “diskettes” The platter is “floppy”, or flexible (e.g.,
mylar) (typical: 5.25”, 3.5”) Most floppy disk drives can hold one
diskette (two surfaces) The diskette is removable Typical rpm: 300, 360 Capacities: 180 KB to 1.4 MB (& up to 100
MB “zip” disks, more)

Hard DisksHard Disks
The platter is “hard” (e.g., aluminum) Most hard disk drives contain more than
one platter On most hard disk drives, the disks are
“fixed” (i.e., not removable) On some hard disk drives, the disks are in
a removable pack (hence, “disk pack”) Typical speed of rotation: 3600, 5400,
7200 rpm (rpm = “revolutions per minute”)
Capacities: 5 MB to 1+ TB (terabyte = 240 bytes)

Winchester DisksWinchester Disks
Invented by IBM A type of hard disk drive The disk is contained within a sealed unit No dust particles When powered off, the head is “parked” at the
outer edge of the platter and rests on the platter surface
When powered on, the aerodynamics of the head and enclosure create a cushion of air between the head and the disk surface
The head floats above the surface (very close!) and does not touch the surface
Thus, “head crash” (the head touches the surface, with damage resulting)
![Page 17: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Hard Disk: TerminologyHard Disk: Terminology
Drive motorThe motor that rotates the plattersTypically a DC motor (DC = direct current)The disk rotates at a fixed speed (e.g., 3600 rpm, revolutions per minute)
Head motionA mechanism is required to move the head assembly in/outTwo possibilities:
A stepper motor (digital, head moves in steps, no feedback)A servo motor (analogue, very precision positioning, but requires feedback)

Hard Disk: TerminologyHard Disk: Terminology
SectorThat portion of a track falling along a predefined pie-shaped portion of the disk surfaceThe number of bytes stored in a sector is the same, regardless of where the sector is located; thus, the density of bits is greater for sectors near the centre of the diskThe rotational speed is constant; i.e., constant angular velocityThus, the transfer rate is the same for inner sectors and outer sectors
BlockThe smallest unit of data that can be written or read to/from the disk (typically 512 bytes)

Hard Disk: TerminologyHard Disk: Terminology
Seek time• The time for the head to move to the correct track• Specified as an average for all tracks on the disk surface
Latency time• The time for the correct block to arrive at the head once
the head is positioned at the correct track• Specified as an average, in other words, ½ the period of
rotation• Also called “rotational delay”
Access time is the time “to get to” the data (remember!)
• Access time = seek time + latency Transfer rate
• Same as throughput

Transfer Rate: ExampleTransfer Rate: Example
Q: Determine the transfer rate, in Mbytes/s, for a hard disk drive, given
Rotational speed = 7200 rpmSectors per track = 30Data per sector = 512 bytes = 0.5 Kbytes
A: Transfer rate = 7200 x 30 = 216,000 sectors/min
= 216,000 x 0.5 = 108,000 Kbytes/min
= 108,000 / 60 = 1,800 Kbytes/s
= 1,800 / 210 = 1.76 Mbytes/s

33
Disk FormattingDisk Formatting
The track positions, blocks, headers, and gaps must be established before a disk can be used
The process for doing this is called “formatting”
The header, at the beginning of each sector, uniquely identifies the sector, e.g., by track number and sector number
![Page 34: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Disk ControllerDisk Controller
Interface between the disk drive and the system is known as a “disk controller”
A primary function is to ensure data read/write operations are from/to the correct sector
Since data rate to/from the disk is different than data rate to/from system memory, “buffering” is needed
May also require special driver,as in CD-ROMs
![Page 35: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
35
BufferingBuffering
System Diskcontroller
DiskRAM Buffer
(RAM)
1. Read data from disk into a buffer in the disk controller
2. Transfer data from buffer to system RAM (Note: this is a DMA operation)
Example: Reading data from a disk
![Page 36: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
36
Multi-block Transfers (1 of 2)Multi-block Transfers (1 of 2)
The smallest transfer is one block (e.g., 512 bytes) However, often multi-block transfers are required The inter-block gap provides “time” for the
controller electronics to adjust from the end of one sector to the beginning of the next
“time” may be needed for a few reasons:Compute and/or verify the CRC bytesSwitch circuits from read mode to write mode
During a write operation the header is “read” but the data are “written”(Remember, the header is only “written” during formatting.)
Perform a DMA operation
![Page 37: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
37
Multi-block Transfers (2 of 2)Multi-block Transfers (2 of 2)
Sometimes, sectors simply cannot be read or written consecutively
There is not enough time (see preceding slide)
The result is lost performance because the disk must undergo a full revolution to read the next sector
The solution: interleaving
![Page 38: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

39
InterleavingInterleaving
Rather than numbering blocks consecutively, the system skips one or more blocks in its numbering
This allows multi-block transfers to occur as fast as possible
Interleaving minimizes lost time due to latency
Interleaving “factor” (see next slide) is established when the disk is formatted
Can have a major impact on system performance

File System ConsiderationsFile System Considerations
There is no direct relationship between the size and physical layout of blocks on a disk drive and the size and organization of files on a system
File systemDetermines the organization of information on a computerPerforms logical-to-physical mapping of informationA file system is part of each and every operating system
Logical mappingThe way information is perceived to be stored
Physical mappingThe way information is actually stored

R.A.I.D. = Redundant array of R.A.I.D. = Redundant array of inexpensive disksinexpensive disks
A category of disk drive that employs two or more drives in combination for fault tolerance and performance
Frequently used on servers, but not generally used on PCs
There are a number of different R.A.I.D. “levels” (next slide)
![Page 47: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

R.A.I.D. Levels (1 of 2)R.A.I.D. Levels (1 of 2)
Level 0Provides “data striping” (spreading out blocks of each file across multiple disks)No redundancyImproves performance, but does not deliver “fault tolerance”
Level 1Provides “data mirroring”: (a.k.a.: “shadowing”)Data are written to two duplicate disks simultaneouslyIf one drive fails, the system can switch to the other without loss of data or serviceDelivers fault tolerance
![Page 48: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

R.A.I.D. Levels (2 of 2)R.A.I.D. Levels (2 of 2)
Level 3Same as level 0, but also reserves one dedicated disk for error correction dataGood performance, and some level of fault tolerance
Level 5Data striping at the byte level and stripe error correction informationExcellent performance, good fault tolerance

Fault ToleranceFault Tolerance
The ability of a computer system to respond gracefully to unexpected hardware or software failure
Many levels of fault tolerance• E.g., the ability to continue operating in the
event of a power failure Some systems “mirror” all operations
• Every operation is performed on two or more duplicate systems, so if one fails, another can take over
![Page 50: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)

Data Mirroring (Shadowing)Data Mirroring (Shadowing)
A technique in which data are written to two duplicate disks simultaneously
If one disk fails, the system can instantly switch to the other disk without loss of data or service
Used commonly in on-line database systems where it is critical that data are accessible at all times
![Page 51: 1 Lecture 10 Computer Peripherals ITEC 1000 “Introduction to Information Technology”](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051621/5697bf9b1a28abf838c92ef6/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Data StripingData Striping
A technique for spreading data over multiple disks
Speeds operations that retrieve data from disk storage
Data are broken into units (blocks) and these are spread across the available disks
Implementations allow selection of data units size, or stripe width

Operation of a CRT DisplayOperation of a CRT Display
A CRT display contains a vacuum tube At one end are three electron guns, one
each for red, green, and blue At the other end is a screen with a
phosphorous coating The three electron guns fire electrons at

Operation of an LCDOperation of an LCD
Two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them
An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them
Each crystal, therefore, acts like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light

With 8 bits per pixel, there is no way to represent red, green and blue colours separately
256 arbitrary combinations are chosen to form a palette of colours
A value from 0-255 represents the colour of a pixel Table holds the RGB values for each of the 256
possible colours To display a pixel, the system reads the RGB values
from the table and converts to screen colour With 16 bits per pixel, the table represents 64,000
colours With 24 bits per pixel, no table is needed: 8 bits per

How it worksHow it works( Impact Type Dot-Matrix )( Impact Type Dot-Matrix )
A print-head moves back-and-forth in front of forms (paper) on which characters or graphic images are transferred. The print-head contains numerous wires, typically from 9 to 24. Each wire is part of a solenoid-like unit. An electrical pulse applied to the solenoid creates a magnetic field which forces the wire to move briefly forward then backward. As the wire moves forward, it strikes a print ribbon containing ink. The impact transfers an ink dot to the paper. The paper is supported from behind by a platen (a hard flat piece)

1. Dots of laser light are beamed onto a drum2. Drum becomes electrically charged3. Drum passes through toner which then sticks
to the electrically charged places4. Electrically charged paper is fed toward the
drum5. Toner is transferred from the drum to the
paper6. The fusing system heats and melts the toner
onto the paper7. A corona wire resets the electrical charge on
the drum

116
First stepFirst step
A laser is fired in correspondence to the dots to be printed. A spinning mirror causes the dots to be fanned out across the drum. The drum rotates to the next line, usually 1000th or 1600th of an inch.
The drum is photosensitive. As a result of the laser light, the drum becomes electrically charged wherever a dot is to be printed.

Second stepSecond step
2. As the drum continues to rotate, the charged part of the drum passes through a tank of black powder called toner. Toner sticks to the drum wherever the charge is present. Thus, the pattern of toner on the drum matches the image.

Fourth stepFourth step
4. As the paper rolls from the drum, it passes over a heat and pressure area known as the fusing system. The fusing system melts the toner to the paper. The printed page then exits the printer.
As the same time, the surface of the drum passes over another wire, called a corona wire. This wire resets the charge on the drum, to ready it for the next page.

BackgroundBackground
Inkjet technology was developed in the 1960s
First commercialized by IBM in 1976 with the 6640 printer
Cannon and Hewlett Packard developed similar technology
Also called bubble jet

How it worksHow it works
Characters and graphics are 'painted‘ line by line to from a pattern of dots as a print head scans horizontally across the paper. An ink-filled print cartridge is attached to the inkjet's print head. The print head contains 50 or more ink-filled chambers, each attached to a nozzle. An electrical pulse flows through thin resistors at the bottom of each chamber. When current flows through a resistor, the resistor heats a thin layer of ink at the bottom of the chamber to more than 900 degrees Fahrenheit for several millionths of a second . The ink boils and forms a bubble of vapour. As the vapour bubble expands, it pushes ink through the nozzle to form a droplet at the tip of the nozzle. The droplet sprays onto the paper.
The volume of the ejected ink is about one millionth that of a drop of water from an eye-dropper. A typical character is formed by an array of these drops 20 across and 20 high. As the resistor cools, the bubble collapses. The resulting suction pulls fresh ink from the attached reservoir into the firing chamber.

How it worksHow it works
Thermal dye transfer printers, also called dye sublimation printers, heat ribbons containing dye and then diffuse the dyes onto specially coated paper or transparencies. These printers are the most expensive and slowest, but they produce continuous-tone images that mimic actual photographs. Note that you need special paper, which is quite expensive. A new breed of thermal dye transfer printers, called snapshot printers, produce small photographic snapshots and are much less expensive than their full-size cousins.
Thermal wax transfer printers use wax-based inks that are melted and then laid down on regular paper or transparencies. Unlike thermal dye transfer printers, these printers print images as dots, which means that images must be dithered first. As a result images are not quite photo-realistic, although they are very good. The big advantages of these printers over thermal dye transfer printers are that they don't require special paper and they are faster.

DitheringDithering
Dithering is creating the illusion of new colours and shades by varying the pattern of dots. Newspaper photographs, for example, are dithered. If you look closely, you can see that different shades of grey are produced by varying the patterns of black and white dots. There are no grey dots at all. The more dither patterns that a device or program supports, the more shades of grey it can represent. In printing, dithering is usually called halftoning, and shades of grey are called halftones. Example: traditional B & W newspaper.
Note that dithering differs from grey scaling. In grey scaling, each individual dot can have a different shade of grey.

Scanner: How it worksScanner: How it works
A scanner works by digitizing an image. A scanning mechanism consists of a light source and a row of light sensors. As light is reflected from individual points on the page, it is received by the light sensors and translated to digital signals that correspond to the brightness of each point. Colour filters can be used to produce colour images, either by providing multiple sensors or by scanning the image three times with a separate colour filter for each pass. The resolution of scanners is similar to that of printers, approximately 300-600 dpi (dots per inch).
