Another pricey tweak: Many gamers like to run two hard disks, simultaneously, to increase the speed at which data can be fetched from a hard drive.
In the present work, we took benefit of an ultramicroelectrode array configuration (16 × 20 μm diameter-disk UME) to increase the overall electroactive surface and consequently, faradaic currents.
This made it a perfect candidate for use with Apple's RAM disk to help increase battery life by accessing the hard disk less frequently, since the 100 was the only PowerBook that maintained the contents of RAM on shutdown in order to reduce startup time.
Hard disk drives continue to increase in areal data density.
Bluejet, which costs $70K per appliance, includes data security, automated tiered cache spanning RAM, SSD, and spinning disk, and promises to increase the speed of data transfers.
A new concept for data storage disks is proposed to increase operating speed with minimum changes in the geometry and design of conventional data storage disks.
An application of composite materials to rotating disks is proposed to increase the critical speed.
But company officials said that the new magnetic materials technology introduced with the Travelstar line would enable I.B.M. to increase disk density to 100 billion bits a square inch as soon as 2003.
This time, though, instead of using the drum, the Elastec/American team, led by Don Johnson, created a disk enhanced with grooves to increase the device's effective surface area, and also to act as capillaries, sucking up more liquid.
R. Dragon's success prompted disk drive maker Seagate Technology to increase its stake in the company from 25% to 35% last fall.
