The hard disk drives of today are compact enough to be handy, robust enough for any environment (be it home, office or mobile) and of a capacity to store information which is just short of unbelievable. By contrast, the earlier hard disk drives were gigantic in size, too sensitive to be used anywhere aside from a particularly protected data center and, by modern standards, generally had a tiny amount of memory capacity.
The first hard disk drives were the dimensions of fridges and had giant motors which needed the employment of high current or a three-phase power supply. Today hard disk drives of desktops, now have 500 to 1,000 gigabytes of loading capacity, with some well into the terabytes.
Few products in history have shown such dazzling reductions in cost and size accompanied by an increase in refinement and performance as disk drives.
50 years back
In 1956, the first hard drive was introduced by IBM. It had fifty pieces of 24-inch platters which were accessed by a single head assembly, making the access time very low at 1 2nd.
This was improved a touch in 1961 with the development of a hard disk drive whose info surfaces were accessed faster with the utilisation of flying head or multiple heads with self-acting air bearings.
40 years ago
The first disc drive of low mass and low load heads used lubricated media and was introduced in 1973. This technology is now being employed by almost all hard drives.
20 years back
The 1980's was the genuine beginning of an era of personal computers and internal hard disk drive drives became the trend. External hard drives stayed popular notwithstanding, as some computers didn't have easily access hard disk bays.
The Present
Since its inception, the world has not looked back but has gone on to do nothing less than amazing exploits in the improvement of hard drives. Corporations are now outwitting one another in coming up with hard disk drives of ever bigger loading capacities.
The timeline of the development of disc drives is dotted with such closely-spaced undertakings of progression. In 2002, for example, 137-GB hard disk drives were first sold. Just three years after, a 500-GB drive came out and in less than a year after, the loading capacity jumped right up to 750 GB.
In 2007, the 1st 1-terabyte hard drive was released and last year, a 3-TB arrived, this year 4TB has just been released.
The Future
Revolution, not evolution, could be the better term to explain the advance of hard drives, and who knows what size hard disks will be in years yet to come.
And to think, on most days we would frequently dismiss along the lines of "a 20gb hard drive? ! I'll never fill that in 1,000,000 years, what a waste of money"
If you're wanting a hard drive recovery speak to the data recovery experts as soon as possible for a free consultation. The earlier your hard drive is inspected by a pro, the bigger the chances of successfully recovering information from it are.
