Netfirms Web Hosting DISK DRIVES In the Product Code: N=New, D=Demo and U=Used Atari SF354 Disk Drive This the single-sided disk drive introduced with the Atari ST line of computers. It can be daisy-chained to another disk drive but the OS only allowed a maximim two disk drives. This fact quickly led to the introduction of a double-sided disk drive, the SF314. Comes complete with Power Supply and cable. Item No. U3016 QTY:
Atari SF314 Disk Drive This was the 'ultimate' disk drive for the Atari ST line of computers... for a little while. The OS restriction of only two floppy drives soon led to pressure for more data storage... a massive Hard Disk for example would soon provide Atari ST users with a whooping 10 Megs of storage. In the meantime, this double-sided floppy would have to do. It comes with Power Supply and cable. Item No. U3015 QTY:
Master 3S Disk Drive for Atari ST Now here was an elegant solution to the Atari ST data storage problem. A tiny disk drive that was nearly half the size of Atari's standard drives (see photo). Lighter, narrower, shorter and cheaper than the Atari offerings, this little gem packed lots of machine in a small space. Comes with power supply and cable.

Floppy disk drive hardware
3.5 inch Floppy Disk Drives use a 34 wire header (pin) connector to connect to the Floppy Disk Drive Interface. The power connector is a small four pin device, and modern 3.5 inch drives only use the +5 volt supply.
A 3.5 inch floppy disk drive uses a 34 pin header (pin) connector to the interface A modern 5.25 inch Floppy Disk Drive uses a direct drive motor to rotate the floppy disk media. 5.25 inch drives use a 34 wire edge connector to connect to the Floppy Disk Drive Interface, and a large 4 pin power connector to supply +5 volt and +12 volt to the drive.
A typical direct drive floppy disk drive motor. The motor rotates the disk media at a constant speed.
  • Normal (Double Density) disks are rotated at 300 RPM
  • High Density (Quad Density) disks are rotated at 360 RPM

A floppy disk drive interface cable has a 34 pin header socket on the interface end
  • The A: drive connectors are at the other end of the cable and usually have a twist to transpose the wires to pins 10 to 16.
  • Most floppy drive cables have both edge connectors (for 5.25 inch drives) and header connectors (for 3.5 inch drives) in both drive positions on the cable.

Note: Hardware vendors like to re-use product names on different hardware as they have trademarks on certain words or they are trying to establish a "brand-name." This overuse of brand-names can be very confusing to the consumer in that one may have purchased something that looks to be supported but has a slightly different name (an added letter or a plus or some other little item.) Most of the time these changes indicate that the hardware is very different, and thus will not be supported. When considering the items below, we have tried to be explicit on what items are covered. If it is not listed, then it is probably not supported (though it might be compatible and supported in the future).

How does hard disk drive configuration impact Scala performance and stability?
Hardware FAQ Solution #15, Hard Disk Drives:
Isn't it amazing how the fastest of computer workstations can be made to appear slow through the inappropriate configuration of its hard disk drive storage system? While computers have increased in performance by a factor of 2000 in the past twenty years and hard disk drives have increased in capacity by at least a factor of 10,000, the "average seek time" of hard disk drives has really only improved by a factor of 10. It is this "average seek time"-the speed at which a hard disk drive get actually get TO the data on a disk platter that is one of the major limitations on the performance of an IC Player. When planning the layout of files and partitions on are hard disk the goal is to minimize the overall time the drive will spend getting to the data it needs to retrieve. The following techniques can prove useful:
  • In a single logical volume disk system,(such as ONE Hard Disk Drive or ONE RAID-1 or RAID- 5 HD set), separate files that change frequently from files at almost never change. The means that if a given player is going to receive frequent updates of artwork; place these frequently changing files on a disk partition of their own. Place the files that change the most near, (as is practical), to the middle of the disk drive.

CSW2 Computer Humour, Hardware
2.6 Disk Drives
Back
Like many other computer components, disk drives also undergo a wide variety of abuse due to ignorance of their function.
  • Customer: "You've sent me a disk but it doesn't seem to fit into the drive. It seems to be an inch too long."
  • Tech Support: "In order to make the disk fit into the drive, you have to make sure that the metal shield is toward the computer, and that the round wheel is downward."
  • Customer: "Ahh, that's better, but it still doesn't work."
  • Tech Support: "You have to push the disk in until the blue button pops out."
  • Customer: "Oh, now it works! How come it doesn't say that anywhere?"
A woman in a non-computer-related company attempted to install a large software package, requiring multiple 5 1/2" disks to install from. She placed disk 1 in drive A:, as instructed. Slightly bewildered when the computer prompted her for disk 2, she nevertheless obliged. But when it asked her to insert disk 3, she went to an office-mate and insisted that another disk would not fit in the drive. A friend of mine was providing UNIX support for a Large Company (which shall remain nameless). One of his users called up one day to report a problem on a DOS machine. Apparently, her floppy drive was giving general failure error messages when writing new files.
