Study Notes

  • Ways to enhance storage performance involve different methods for speed, reliability, and efficiency.

Disk Caching

  • Temporarily stores frequently accessed data for quicker retrieval.

Hybrid Drives

  • Integrates solid-state drives (SSDs) for speed and hard disks for extensive storage capacity.

RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks)

  • Joins multiple disks to increase storage capacity and improve data reliability through redundancy.

File Compression

  • Reduces the physical size of files, optimizing storage space and accelerating data transfers.

Mass Storage Devices

  • Essential for organizations needing to manage and store very large volumes of data.

Enterprise Storage Systems

  • Provide centralized storage solutions that can be scaled to meet organizational needs.

File Servers

  • Dedicated computers within a network designed to provide fast access to stored files.

Network Attached Storage (NAS)

  • Streamlines file server functionality, especially beneficial for smaller businesses.

RAID Systems

  • Within enterprise setups, RAID systems are implemented to ensure data backup and reliability.

Organizational Cloud Storage

  • Employs remote storage solutions for managing large-scale data, offering scalability and accessibility.

Storage Area Network (SAN)

  • Connects remote storage devices to computers in such a way they are recognized as local drives, facilitating efficient data management.

Heat-Assisted Magnetic Recording (HAMR)

  • Increases data storage density by using heat-sensitive materials, allowing more data to be stored in less space.

3D Multilevel Cells (MLCs)

  • Vertically stacks data to enable quicker access times, enhancing overall storage performance.

DNA Storage

  • Leverages genetic material to store immense amounts of data, with capabilities of holding 215 petabytes in just 1 gram of DNA.
