For embedded computing
hackers, mass storage (like hard drives) is often the most frustrating
piece of the puzzle, as the fragile and power-hungry spin of the hard
drive is usually the last non-solid-state part in the whole
deployment. And while most engineers will just use a Compact Flash
card, sometimes the only option is an ATA (hard drive) connection;
that's where the IFD-iV flash memory parts from IO Data Device
Corporation come in. Basically just flash memory drives, the defining
feature of the IFD-iVs (besides fairly rugged operating
specifications) is that they use the standard ATA connection of a hard
drive, meaning they can be deployed in place of hard drives when
necessary. Models up to 2GB in capacity will be available for around
$2,100 -- maybe we'll just deal with the fragile hard drives
instead.

Hard Drives the unsung Hero
05/27/2004 12:28 PMI had to smile today. Sitting on my shelf of memorabilia is a 65
meg RLL Hard-drive that I payed $465.00 for back in the mid 80's. I
was the top dog on the block and all of my buddies and I marveled at
how we would every fill it up. Little did I know that in 1993 I would
layout $1056.00 for a 1.6 Gig drive.
I have been kicking myself in the butt every since. But luckily the
days of over-priced hard-drives are long gone. The history of the
Hard-Drive is an amazing one. [CNet]

FBI Picks Up Some Novelty Hard Drives
FBI Picks Up Some Novelty Hard Drives
07/23/2004 03:08 PMWith all of the security problems in Los Alamos these days, apparently
secrecy is no joking matter. The Black Hole Surplus Store and Museum
apparently had some hard drives behind the counter with "secret"
labels on them. They're not for sale, but are really just there to
generate conversation with tourists. The FBI apparently
wasn't particularly thrilled with this explanation and have
confiscated the hard drive which the owner of the surplus store
insists was a joke. Who knows what goes through some
people's minds, but does it really seem likely that someone
walking out of Los Alamos with classified info is going to
hand it over to the local surplus store?

the TBU
FireWire Hard Drives and The Future of
the TBU
06/12/2004 06:49 PM
I bought
a FireWire hard drive enclosure the other day, and I'm awfully happy
with it. It cost about $45 and I filled it with an old 40GB hard
drive I had lying around. It works beautifully — plug it into a
FireWire port and you get a G: drive.
It makes me wonder what'll happen to the venerable tape backup unit
(TBU). I have a TBU on my server, but it's old, slow, cranky, and
only holds 20GB. Furthermore, 20GB tapes are like, $30 while hard
drives are running less than a dollar per gigabyte these days.
Right now, I can think of no reason why I would use my TBU for
anything anymore. Am I missing something? I imagine that tapes are
physically pretty durable, certainly more so than a hard drive, but is
there anything else?
I'm using this portable hard drive for off-site backups. Once a
week, I'll bring the drive in, copy the latest backups onto it, and
take it home where it will sit on my bookshelf for a week until I
bring it in again to refresh the backups.
FireWire hard drives, incidentally, are fast as lightning. I have
a small
RAID Tower which runs via FireWire. You'd never know it wasn't an
internal SCSI drive. In fact, I installed a very CPU- and
I/O-intensive server process on it once and it ran beautifully.
Again, the simplicity is amazing — plug it in and you get an F:
drive, end of story.
I'm so impressed with the utility of these things that I'd go so
far as call them mandatory equipment for your PC. The enclosure will
cost you $45. I found a 40GB Maxtor drive on Froogle for $32. I bought a
FireWire card and cable on eBay last year for $15. That's $92 for
40GB of removable storage that you can throw in a fanny pack —
tough to beat.
On my next PC, I'm going to physically separate the operating
system from my data files. I'll keep all my data on an external
FireWire unit, and only keep the OS and program files on the internal
IDE unit. I'd love for my PC to be essentially disposable. If I have
a problem, just pave and reload it knowing that all my data files are
safe and secure a few feet away on the external unit. Perversely, I
may mirror them on the internal drive just for redundancy.
For the record, I bought the Metal Gear Box from
NewEgg. It was rock simple to get running — find a hard drive,
physically screw it into the unit, plug it two cables, then plug it
into the PC.
I'm not thrilled with look of the thing — it's all brushed
aluminum and black metal grating. (Kind of makes me feel like a
40-year-old man driving around in a lowered Civic with a big wing on
the back.) Additionally, when you put it down, there's no padding or
rubber stops, so it kind of clanks against the desk, which makes me a
little nervous.
Anyway, the theory is valid. External hard drives: good.
FireWire: great. Go get one.

computer. A new product from Linksys allows such devices, which are
commonly used as supplemental or backup computer storage, to be
wirelessly connected to a home network, so multiple users can tap into
the data bank like a central library.
