HRD: New power for HDD and SSD storage devices

The advent of SSDs is considered the future change of HDD, but it is still not a perfect solution for data storage devices.DataSlide - a British company recently released a new storage device temporarily called "HRD rectangular " hard drive (Hard Rectangular Drive).

This type of hard drive has been improved on the basis of traditional HDD, but the disk layers do not need to spin but instead use magnetic materials covered on both sides between reading layers and record of the drive. Just like the sandwich layers of the Sandwich, it's also because the reading floor and the disk layers are rectangular so they have the same name.

The disk layers are placed in the hard drive, on the reading floor, it is actually the write reader that is in contact with the two sides of the disk. The entire disc is covered by a metal cover, and on the outside, its size is just like a 3.5 "hard drive.

Today's traditional hard drive products must be through the movement of disk layers and the motion of the write reader to conduct read and write data, while the HRD's write reader remains in place, through the The precise control of the voltage pass system takes the reading position inscribed on the plate to the position of the recorder, and it is used a sleek Tac coating to protect the surface of the plate.

Currently, the number of readings written on the disk is only 64, moving the horizontal and vertical disk in accordance with the location of the reader to conduct reading and writing, but theoretically it is possible to add several million reading readers. thus creating a large-scale reading surface, so that each recorder can handle reading and writing data in each of these positions, and thus we will not have to waste time. waiting for the data to be searched, of course speed will also make a huge difference, and the read and write speed will be similar and it will have faster write speed than HDD and SSD.

DataSlide said that the capacity of this HRD drive can range from 80GB to 2TB, the data transfer rate can reach 500MB / s and the reading feature records 160,000 IOPS, power consumption is not up to 4W, lower than HDD and SSD drives. At the same time the reliability of this type of hard drive is also higher than that of HDD and SSD, there are no problems like NAND memory chip abrasion and software compatibility.

DataSlide is currently conducting a commercial review of the new storage technology, and will provide copyright to a storage device manufacturer, so we still have to wait for the release date of the product. This product in the near future.
