Outline
O Introduction
O Literature Review
O Method & Materials
O Results
O Conclusion
Background
O Data storage devices

O Popular in our lives

O Known as secondary storage devices

O 2 types of data storage devices

O Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

O Solid State Drive (SSD)


Background

O HDD:
O IBM 1956
O Magnetic coating on metal platters
O Data are read/written by movements of
magnetic heads.
Background

O SSD:
O 1950s
O Controller and NAND flash memory chips
O Data are read/written by read/write
functions
Objective and Audience
O Objective

O Provide the statistical figures

O Compare differences between HDD and

SSD

O Manufacturers

O identify which drives will be more suitable

O educate their end users.


Literature Review
O Highlight differences between drives

O Primary advantages of both drives

O Research gap in past researches


Differences
O Power consumption:
O SSD uses 5% of system power
O HDD uses 10% of system power
O Power usage of SSD is half of a HDD in
both state.
Differences
O Price of SSD is significantly higher:
O Highly complex process.
O Sophisticated flash memory

O Heat dissipation of SSD is lower:


O Uses lesser power than HDD
Primary Advantages
O Primary advantages of SSD:
O Faster performance
O Booting up of PC
O Launching of applications

O Primary advantages of HDD:


O Higher maximum storage capacity
O Up to 4 Terabytes
Primary Advantages
O Reasons why HDD lost in performance:
O More time spent waiting for platters to
access data

O Reasons why SSD lost in storage


capacity:
O Limitations in size of transistors and parts
in SSD
Research Gap
O Little has shown:

O Temperature fluctuation at different

intervals

O Statistical figures of boot up and read/write

speed with a fair environment


Method
O The aim of the experiments were to obtain
data to evaluate the performance of each
of the drives.

O Three experiments:
O Boot-up speed
O Read & Write speed
O Operating temperature
Materials

O 13-inch Apple MacBook Pro x2

O 256GB SSD

O 500GB HDD

O Stopwatch
Materials (Cont’d)
O Blackmagic Disk Speed
Test
O A software used to assess
storage drives’ read and
write performance.
O It obtains the drives’
performance by comparing
the time taken to write and
read large data to and from
the drive.
Materials (Cont’d)
O iStat Menus
O A software that allow
users to monitor
detailed information of
the computer in real
time.
O It makes use of the
sensors built inside of
the computer to obtain
the hardware
information.
Procedures
1. Boot-up speed

O Don’t mind limited storage capacity or can work
around that.
Q&A
O Future trend of SSD and HDD?
O SSD:
O Increase its capacity
O Decrease its price
O HDD:
O Increase it performance or improve its desity
