Individual Project: Task 1
[Total Marks: 50]
You are required to choose two secondary memory (HDD and SSD) from different
manufacturers integrated with DDR4 RAM and Processor. Storage device
manufacturers include HGST, Seagate Technology, Toshiba etc. Perform your
research by analyzing and comparing the architecture and organization of these
storage.
Compare and contrast HDD and SSD capacity and performance with the help
of speed (file opening, file copy/write), access time and clock frequency.
Compare power consumption
Compare the cost of each devices (based on local markets)
A report (700 words) of this analysis and comparison, with recommendations, should
be compiled and submitted. You are expected to conduct research external to
lectures (such as, finding evidence to support your claims from manufacturer
websites, journal /conference articles, etc.)
