Which Solid State Hard Drive should I buy?

Which Solid State Hard Drive should I buy?Not all SSDs(Solid State Drives) give the same performance so here are some good and bad, listed by controller chip used plus drives that use the controller.

Best SSDs to buy
These are all known good SSDs that give reasonably high performance and are resilient to performance degradation. The most popular ones are listed first.

DISCLAIMER: This is just a list for performance. If you want a problem free drive the best choice would probably be the older generation Intel G2 (purchased new). New Intel 320 has a firmware bug. New SandForce drives ALWAYS have firmware bugs. Heck, older SandForce still have firmware bugs (AFAIK occasional wake from S3 bug was not 100% fixed). And of course OCZ drives should always make the buyer wary, due to the volume of complaints. Also, most (but not necessarily all) problems are discovered and fixed within the first 6 months of the release of a drive model. If you don’t want to pay to be a beta tester, don’t buy a drive that is brand new on the market.

Data Backup Glossary (Letter C)

CE-ATA
An interface standard for the connection of storage devices and hosts in consumer electronic devices such as mobile and handheld devices. One of the primary goals of the standard is to standardize connections for small form factor hard disk drives such as one-inch microdrives. The standard is maintained by CE-ATA Workgroup.

Chiller
Also called a data center chiller, a chiller is a cooling infrastructure used in a data centers and industrial facilities. A chiller cooling system removes heat from one element and deposits it into another element. In large data centers, the chiller is used to cool the water used in heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning units. Due to the amount of heat produced by many servers and systems in a data center, chiller cooling systems are operational around-the-clock. As such, a large percentage of the electricity consumed in a data center is used by the chiller.

Cloud storage
The delivery over a network of appropriately configured virtual storage and related data services. Typically, cloud storage hides limits to scalability, is either self-provisioned or provisionless, and is billed based on consumption.

Cloud-connected storage solutions
Next-generation data protection deployed in seamless combination—on-premise and cloud, licensed software and hosted services—to optimize performance, availability, and affordability.

COLD
Acronym for computer output to laser disk. The storage of data on optical disk, such as CD-ROMs. Storing large volumes of data on laser disk, as opposed to microfiche or microfilm, lets the user access and search for this information on a computer, avoid the duplication and security costs of protecting physical documents or film, and more readily distribute information.

Cold standby
A method of redundancy in which the secondary (backup) system is only called upon when the primary system fails. The system on cold standby receives scheduled data backups, but less frequently than a warm standby. Cold standby systems are used for non-critical applications or in cases where data is changed infrequently.

CompactFlash (CF)
Often referred to as a CompactFlash or CF card, CompactFlash is a very small removable mass storage device that relies on flash memory technology, a storage technology that does not require a battery to retain data indefinitely. CompactFlash cards can support 3.3V and 5V operation and can switch between the two, in contrast to other small-form factor flash memory cards that can only operate at one voltage. CompactFlash applications include PDAs, cellular phones, digital cameras, and photo printers.

Compliance
The state of being in accordance with a standard, specification, or clearly defined requirements, including legal requirements. In IT, the "compliance market" is centered around storage and systems that support the retention and discovery of data as required by law or regulation.

Compound document
An electronic document comprising more than one type of file. For example, a text file and image file.

Compressed sensing
An alternative theory to Nyquist’s Law that indicates signals and images can be reconstructed from fewer measurements than what is usually considered necessary. In contrast, Nyquist’s Law states that a signal must be sampled at least twice its highest analog frequency in order to extract all of the information. Also called compressive sampling.

Compression
The process of encoding data to reduce its size. Lossy compression (compression using a technique in which a portion of the original information is lost) is acceptable for some forms of data (for example, digital images) in some applications. However, for most IT applications, lossless compression (compression using a technique that preserves the entire content of the original data, and from which the original data can be reconstructed exactly) is required.

Compressed footprint
Amount of space consumed after compression has been applied to the data set. In a backup solution, compressed footprint refers to the amount of space being utilized by the backed-up data.

Content-addressed storage
Content-addressed storage (CAS) is an object-oriented system for storing data that is not intended to be changed once it is stored (for example, medical images, sales invoices, and archived e-mail). CAS assigns a unique identifying logical address to the data record when it is stored. That address is neither duplicated nor changed in order to ensure that the record always contains the exact same data that was originally stored. CAS relies on disk storage instead of removable media, such as tape.

Continuous data protection
Also called continuous backup, continuous data protection (CDP) refers to backing up computer data by saving as an automated function a copy every time changes are made to that data. It allows users to restore files that are corrupted or that have been accidentally deleted back to any point in time before they were lost.

Cumulative incremental backup
The backup of all data files that have been modified since the last backup.

Data Backup Glossary (Letter B)

Data Backup Glossary (Letter B)Back up(v)
To make a copy of data so that the additional copy may be used to restore the original in case of data loss.

Backup(n)
A collection of data stored on (usually remote) non-volatile storage media for purposes of recovery in case the original copy of data is lost or becomes inaccessible; also called a backup copy. To be useful for recovery, a backup must be made by copying the source data image when it is in a consistent state.

Backup window
An interval of time during which a set of data can be backed up without seriously affecting applications that use the data.

BRTP
Backup and recovery transfer protocol used by the EVault® Agent.

Bare-metal restore
A bare-metal restore (BMR) is a restore in which the backed up data is available in a form which allows one to restore a computer system from “bare metal”—meaning without any requirements as to previously installed software or operating system.

Buffer credits
Formally called buffer-to-buffer credit (BBC) spoofing, and also called buffer-to-buffer credits, this technology effectively removes limitations on data throughput for long-distance transmissions in a Fibre Channel storage area network (SAN). Fibre Channel protocols usually limit the distance between the source and the destination network to within a few kilometers. Using buffer-to-buffer credits makes it possible to use offsite storage hundreds of kilometers away.

Business continuity
The ability of an organization to continue to function even after a disastrous event. Business continuity is accomplished through the deployment of redundant hardware and software, the use of fault tolerant systems, as well as a solid backup and recovery strategy.

Business continuity planning
Business continuity planning (BCP) covers both disaster recovery planning and business resumption planning. BCP is the preparation and testing of measures that protect business operations and also provide the means for the recovery of technologies in the event of any loss, damage, or failure of facilities

Business recovery team
A group of individuals responsible for maintaining the business recovery procedures and coordinating the recovery of business functions and processes. Also called a disaster recovery team.

Business recovery timeline
The chronological sequence of recovery activities, or critical path, that must be followed to resume an acceptable level of operations following a business interruption or outage. This timeline may range from minutes to weeks, depending upon the recovery requirements and methodology.

Western Digital Corp
wdQ4 REVENUE OF $2.4 BILLION AND NET INCOME OF $158 MILLION, OR $0.67 PER SHARE

For the quarter, revenue totaled $2.4 billion, net income was $158 million, or $0.67 per share, and hard-drive unit shipments were 54 million. The quarterly results included total expenses of $35 million associated with the planned acquisition of Hitachi Global Storage Technologies (Hitachi GST) announced Mar. 7, 2011, and for unrelated litigation accruals. Excluding these expenses, non-GAAP net income was $193 million or $0.81 per share.1

In the year-ago quarter, the company reported revenue of $2.38 billion, net income of $265 million, or $1.13 per share, and shipped 50 million hard drives. The 2010 results included $27 million of expenses related to litigation accruals. Excluding these expenses, the year-ago quarter non-GAAP net income was $292 million, or $1.24 per share.2

The company generated $447 million in cash from operations during the June quarter, ending with total cash and cash equivalents of $3.5 billion.

For fiscal year 2011, the company posted revenue of $9.53 billion and net income of $726 million, or $3.09 per share, compared to fiscal 2010 revenue of $9.85 billion and net income of $1.38 billion, or $5.93 per share. The 2011 net income included total expenses of $44 million associated with the planned acquisition of Hitachi GST and unrelated litigation accruals. Excluding these expenses, fiscal 2011 non-GAAP net income was $770 million or $3.28 per share.1 The 2010 net income included $27 million of expenses related to litigation accruals. Excluding these expenses, fiscal 2010 non-GAAP net income was $1.41 billion, or $6.05 per share.2

“In the June quarter, we were able to meet stronger than anticipated demand, especially from our OEM customers, We believe the stronger demand was driven by increased use of sea freight in advance of the second half of the calendar year as well as supply continuity concerns in the aftermath of the Japan earthquake.

In a challenging HDD market environment in fiscal 2011, the industry saw unit volume growth of four percent while WD achieved growth of six percent as customers demonstrated a continued preference for the WD value proposition.

We remain focused on completing our strategic acquisition of Hitachi GST. We are continuing to engage in the approval process with all the appropriate regulatory agencies and thus far we have received clearance from Brazil, Taiwan and Turkey. We continue to work closely with the remaining agencies which are reviewing our transaction. As previously announced, we now expect that the transaction will close in the fourth calendar quarter of 2011, and our integration planning activities continue on schedule.” – said John Coyne, president and chief executive officer.

5 Reasons Why Your Digital Photos Gone Missing

photorecoveryWith the holiday season quickly approaching, many of us are looking forward to spending time with our family and friends. These special times, which used to be captured on film, are now recorded digitally on a video recording device or a camera. It has revealed that the top causes of memory card disasters from digital camera users desperate to recover their memories.

1. Reformatting

Users often forget that reformatting a memory card will remove all the files stored on it including protected pictures and print orders. This data can only be retrieved by experts so Ontrack advises users to think again before you reformat.

2. Overwriting

A common mistake is the accidental overwriting of images held on camera memory cards with new photos. It’s easily done. So check, check and check again that you’ve successfully transferred your images onto your PC, laptop, CD or DVD before taking new pictures.

3. Cracked and damaged media

Packing memory cards into overstuffed suitcases can result in them becoming bent or damaged on the journey home, making them unreadable. Wrapping cards in clothes and placing them in the middle of your case offers some degree of protection in transit and helps ensure the safety of your pictures during your return trip.

4. Burnt media

Leaving memory cards in an elevated temperature environment – close to a heat source such as a radiator or oven – will increase the chances of failure.  Heat is unlikely to cause damage to the digital photos on the memory card but may stop the card from being recognized in a card reader.

5. Holiday injuries

For those of you that opt for a tropical vacation instead of a snowy week with the in-laws, digital cameras often get dropped in the sand or splashed with water around the pool, damaging smart media to the extent that photos can’t be viewed. Only an expert can recover digital images from smart media damaged in this way, so users should be careful to keep digital cameras in padded and watertight cases to keep them safe.

Data Backup Glossary (Letter A)

Data Backup Glossary (Letter A)ABARS
Aggregate group backup and recovery support (ABARS) is a backup system for MVS S/390 mainframes from IBM. ABARS performs data backup and recovery processes on a predefined set of data called an aggregate. During backup processing, the data is packaged as a single entity in preparation for taking it offsite. This enables the recovery of individual applications in user-priority sequence. The original design of ABARS was for use in disaster recovery, but is also used for transfer of workloads and remote distribution of data.

Active-active
Also called dual active, active-active is a network of independent processing nodes in which each node has access to a replicated database. This database access enables each node to access and use a single application. In an active-active system, all requests are load balanced across all available processing capacity. When a failure occurs on a node, another node in the network takes its place.

Agent
A program that performs one or more services (such as gathering information from the Internet), acting for or as a principal. In an EVault solution, an agent is installed on each server or device needing data protection. It requires no changes to underlying server hardware. The agent installs directly onto multiple operating system environments with minimal overhead. Communicating closely with the other two modules—EVault Director and CentralControl—the agent initiates ongoing, delta (or block-level change) processing of backup data. It also works to perform adaptive compression for more compact data transmission over LANs or WANs. The agent also can encrypt data prior to the data being sent.

Appliance
An intelligent device programmed to perform a single well-defined function, such as providing backup, file, web, network, or print services. Appliances differ from general purpose computers in that their software is normally customized for the function they perform, pre-loaded by the vendor, and not alterable by the user.

Archive(n.)

A disk, tape, or directory that contains files that have been moved off primary storage.
A file that contains one or more files in a compressed format. Due to the file’s content or age, it is infrequently accessed and can be stored in slower, lower cost devices.

(v.) To move files to a long-term storage medium for backup.

(adj.) In DOS systems, the archive attribute marks files that have been modified since the last backup.

Asynchronous replication
A replication technique in which data must be committed to storage at only the primary site and not the secondary site before the write is acknowledged to the host. Data is then forwarded to the secondary site as the network capabilities permit.

ATA disk on chip
ATA disk on chip (ADC) is a chip that contains both a solid state disk (SSD) and an ATAPI bus interface. ADC is housed in a 600 mm 32-pin DIP package and uses a standard ATA/IDE protocol. ADC is most commonly used in thin client systems, PDAs, and other small form factor devices.

Automated cartridge system
An automated cartridge system (ACS) is a storage and retrieval system, often used for library management. The ACS provides cartridge storage cells, transports, and a robotic mechanism to move cartridges between the cells.

Automated cartridge system library software
Automated cartridge system library software (ACSLS) is the software that controls an automated cartridge system (ACS).

Automatic backup system
An automatic backup system triggers backups by event—for example, a schedule point or a threshold reached—rather than by human action.

Automatic failover
The automatic substitution of a functionally equivalent system component for a failed one. The term failover is most often applied to intelligent controllers connected to the same storage devices and host computers. If one of the controllers fails, failover occurs, and the survivor automatically takes over its I/O load.

Availability
In computer systems and networking, the amount of time that a system is available during those time periods when it is expected to be available, often measured as a percentage of an elapsed year.

Happy To Have Them! I would like to give my heartfelt thanks to the people at Computer Based Associates. Frankly I am an IT manager but I even did not backup my home computer. Suddenly, my 500 GB Western Digital hard drive did not spin up any more. I lost everything that was important to me. One of my co-workers gave me the phone number for them since he got data recovered there from a smoking hard drive. They fixed the hard drive, I don’t know how they did it, and got all my data. They have their own clean room and facility instead of sending hard drives to other locations.

Grateful for excellent service. My external drive went out after I caught a malware virus and it started messing with my files. I shipped my drive to Hrad Drive Data Recovery Services Miami and they removed the malware for me, restored and backed up my documents.
