Data storage has been transformed in the last 50 years from huge, clunking machines with limited capacity to tiny memory cards that can store a fantastic amount of data but are no bigger than the size of a finger nail. The cost of data storage has also plummeted. In 1956 a 5Mb IBM RAMAC 350 Disk File - the highest capacity data storage device at the time - weighed a tonne and cost a fortune. But in 2013, Kingston released the highest capacity USB flash drive to-date: a 1-Terabyte USB Flash Drive called the DataTraveler HyperX Predator 3. In 2014, we witnessed the release of not only the first 512Gb SD Card from SanDisk but also the first 10-terabyte hard drive by Western Digital Our Evolution of a Terabyte of Data Infographic aims to show how 1-terabyte of data would have been stored over the last six decades, with the highest capacity storage devices and tech available at each period. Storage Devices This is a full list of the storage devices covered on the Infographic: IBM 350 RAMAC Disk File (1956) - Consisted of 50, 24-inch discs with a total capacity of 5MB IBM 1301 Disk Storage Unit (1961) - Each module had 25 disks and could store 28 MB per module IBM 1311 Disk Storage Drive (1962) - 2MB x 6 Disks = 12MB per disk pack IBM 2311 Disk Pack (1964) - 7.5MB x 4 Disks = 29MB per disk pack IBM 2314 Disk Drive (1965) - 29MB x 8 = 233MB per disk pack IBM 3330 Subsystem (1970) - 100Mb IBM 3350 Direct Access Storage (1976) - 317.5MB x 2 = 635MB per unit IBM 62PC (Piccolo) Hard Drive (1979) - 64MB but The World’s first 8-inch HDD IBM 3380 Direct Access Storage Device (1980) - 2.52MB, The World’s first gigabyte Hard Drive was the size of an average refrigerator Seagate ST-506 (1980) - 5MB The World’s first 5.25-inch HDD for desktop computers Rodime RO-352 (1983) - 11MB, The World’s first 3.5-inch HDD PrairieTek 220 (1988) - 20MB, The World’s first 2.5-inch HDD Integral Peripherals Mustang 1820 & 1842 (1991) - The World’s first 1.8-inch HDD IBM Deskstar 16GP (1997) - 8.4GB - 16.8GB 3.5£ desktop hard drives Trek ThumbDrive (2000) - 8MB - 256MB, The World’s first USB Flash Drive Toshiba 2GB USB Flash Drive (2003) - The World’s first 2GB USB Flash Drive Sandisk 2GB microSD Card (2006) - 2Gb, at the time was largest capacity SD Card. Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000 (2007) - The World’s first 1TB HDD DataTraveler HyperX Predator (2013) - World's first 1TB USB Flash Drive Western Digital Ultrastar He10 (2014) - World's first 3.5-inch 10TB hard disk drive SanDisk Extreme PRO® SDHC™/SDXC™ UHS-I Memory Card - first ever 512MB SD Memory Card More technology stories for you How the Apple Watch could be a tech game-changer in 2015...

Permabit Upgrades Compression - Compression has been available in one form or another for decades but all compression in not created equal and there is room for improvement. Permabit recently upgraded their data efficiency software and now includes an advanced compression capability, called HIOPS™ that may bring inline data compression to much broader use cases. http://storageswiss.com/2014/07/10/not-your-fathers-compression-permabit-delivers-hiops-compression/
Join us for an ON-Demand webinar with hybrid cloud storage experts George Crump, Founder of Storage Switzerland and Ron Bianchini, CEO of Avere Systems. They discuss the five keys to a successful hybrid cloud storage strategy: High Speed On-Premise Storage; Inexpensive, Reliable, Long-Term Storage; Intelligent Movement Between On-premises and Cloud Storage; Granular Control Over Specific Data Sets; and Cloud NAS Instead of a Gateway. https://www.brighttalk.com/webcast/5583/108035
Enterprise vendors need a data optimization strategy of their own. But this data efficiency solution can't be confusing, nor can it be different for each platform that they sell. Storage Switzerland provides analysis on Permabit's new SANblox solution. Will it allow enterprise vendors to deliver complete and consistent data optimization now? http://storageswiss.com/2014/09/16/dedupe-and-compression-for-tier-1/
What if you do not consider one of the greatest advantages of containers to be an advantage to you? Many tout the stateless nature of containers as their single greatest feature. They start up, they accomplish their task, and they go away – no stateful storage necessary. Many within the container community consider a stateful…
The company unveiled a method of storing digital information on slivers of quartz glass that can endure extreme temperatures and hostile conditions without degrading, almost forever.
Video data is now mainstream and organizations of all types have to contend with the unprecedented growth in this information. Meeting initial storage demands for this content is relatively easy; creating a cost effective long-term storage strategy that still delivers adequate on-demand performance is challenging. This article discusses how "Production Archive" may help overcome this challenge. http://storageswiss.com/2014/03/05/real-time-video-data-competitive-advantage-or-budget-sinkhole/
I may be an analyst for Storage Swiss now, but for 30 years I’ve also been in the news business. So with the emergence of “WannaCry” I’m seeing my two worlds collide. And it’s no surprise it’s over ransomware. We’ve been writing a lot about it on Storage Swiss over a number of years. George,…
Many years ago when the NAS market was born, it was very simple to distinguish between NAS systems and SAN systems. SAN systems ran on Fibre Channel and NAS systems ran on Ethernet. SAN systems used block protocols like SCSI and NAS systems used file protocols such as NFS and SMB. Today, the lines are…
