Hard disk

To determine time dependent behaviours of the specimen up to 25 measurements in series with different time delays are possible. To prevent mistakes in application many help comments appear when inputs are necessary or differences between the calibration and the measurement are detected. All calibration conditions, a description for the specimen and results can be printed or saved by the hard disk. To reduce the input expenditure, the last configuration is made to current values when the program is stopped ore leave. 

The selection and sequence of tubes to be inspected are known at the start of a measurement campaign. After a tube has been measured, the reference is transmitted to the pre-fetching module. This latest can, through an anticipation window, copies a certain number of records on the hard disk.

The pre-processing concepts have been a more recent development of substructure searching systems. These approaches have become popular since the mid-1980s, when the cost of the storage devices (hard disks and CD-ROMs) decreased. 

Many computational chemistry techniques are extremely computer-intensive. Depending on the type of calculation desired, it could take anywhere from seconds to weeks to do a single calculation. There are many calculations, such as ah initio analysis of biomolecules, that cannot be done on the largest computers in existence. Likewise, calculations can take very large amounts of computer memory and hard disk space. In order to complete work in a reasonable amount of time, it is necessary to understand what factors contribute to the computer resource requirements. Ideally, the user should be able to predict in advance how much computing power will be needed. 

With the current impressive CPU and main memory capacity of relatively inexpensive desktop PC s, non-direct SCF ab initio calculations involving 300-400 basis functions can be practical. However, to run these kinds of calculation, 20 GBytes of hard disk space might be needed. Such big disk space is unlikely to be available on desktop PCs. A direct SCF calculation can eliminate the need for large disk storage.

The most important mass memories use magnetic media in the form of magnetic tapes or disks (floppy disk and hard disk). Laser addressed optical mass memories are of increasing commercial importance. 

Erasable optical disk (EOD) systems, on the other hand, are challenging classic magnetic media in some areas of appHcation, primarily magnetic tape and the hard disk, but mostly optical media complement magnetic media. 

MO Media Summary. When compared to magnetic recording on hard disks, the advantage of MO data storage is the removabiUty of the disks and the high storage capacity (especially on multiplatter (juke-box) systems) whereas the access times have not yet been reached. 

An advantage of aluminum is the high level of knowledge and the automated production plants stemming from the mass production of A1 substrates for magnetic hard disks these can be widely used for the production of substrate disks for optical data storage. 

The question as to whether and to what extent and in what area optical mass storage would replace magnetic systems (disk, tape) was controversially being discussed in the 1980s. In spite of all predictions of an imminent substitution, as of late 1994 magnetic hard disks stiU are the system of choice for computer-dedicated mass storage due to their speed (access time, transfer rate), physical size, and energy consumption this is especially tme when memory-intensive appHcations are mn which use the hard disk as virtual memory. 

There is no competitive situation for data storage disks with embossed iaformation (CD-ROM) and recordable/nonerasable disks (WORM) no counterpart to CD-ROM and WORM exists among magnetic memories. EOD drives are best compared to floppies and removable hard disk media given their possibiUty of easy and problem-free disk exchange and a capacity on the order of that of removable magnetic media (Tape, Bernoulli, SyQuest). 

Thin-film media can be made by various technologies, eg, sputtered deposited Co—Cr—X films for longitudinal appHcations, laminated media for hard disk apphcation, metal evaporated tape, and multilayers for possible appHcations in magnetooptic recording.
