....although one in which the savings in power, as well as the overhead required to return to the original state, are greater. Table 3 quantifies some time and energy considerations for various hard disks. A possible technology for secondary storage is an integrated circuit called flash memory [16 20]. Like a hard disk, such memory is nonvolatile and can hold data without consuming n Table 2. For various portable computers, percentage of total power used by each component when power saving techniques are used [4, 5] Processor 4 17 9 25 14 Hard disk 12 9 4 8 8 Backlight 17 25 ....
....system must ensure that the pattern of erasures is reasonably uniform, with no single segment getting repeatedly erased. The current cost per megabyte of flash is US 2 4, making it about 17 40 times more expensive than hard disk but about 2 5 times less expensive than DRAM. Caceres et al. [16] point out that the costs of flash and hard disk may become comparable in the future since the per year increases in megabytes per dollar are about 25 percent for magnetic disk and 40 percent for flash; given these assumptions, the two prices could converge in 6 8 years. Flash memory offers great ....

....logically the same distance from the center comprise a cylinder. The desired cylinder is reached by the arm assembly of the disk drive moving all of the heads until the heads are over the desired cylinder. Tracks are divided into sectors where every sector has the same number 17 of bytes. See [Hospodor93] for a discussion of how the data are arranged within a sector. The set of cylinders are partitioned into zones, where all of the cylinders in a zone have the same number of sectors per cylinder. Since the size of the cylinder increases as the radius of the cylinder increases, the outer most zone ....
