Warning! Every Hard disk will fail

By Ultron -
Well My friends in this post i would like to talk about the damned HHD (Hard Disk Drive). The sheer space it has granted us. It is at the center of big social media applications. Pentabyte upon pentabytes of data is being saved on these platters but littles does the public knows that every hard disk is bound to fail. Lets have a journey with me as i am your technology journalist.

Platters are typically made using an aluminium or glass and ceramic substrate. In disk manufacturing, a thin coating is deposited on both sides of the substrate, mostly by a vacuum deposition process called magnetron sputtering.


All of the hard disks will fail eventuealy because of the involvement of Mechanical and rotating parts. As can be seen in this image. 



Most drives fail in two years and majority give way in 5 years.The better alternative to hardisk is to back up your data regularly and also or to utilize SSD Drive.

Police suspect that two Russian nationals wearing masks cashed out dozens of ATMs operated by Taiwan's First Bank on Sunday and left the country the following day. The crooks stole an estimatedT$70m ($2.2m) hours after a typhoon battered the region around Taipei, the Taiwanese capital. The two (or perhaps at least three) crooks behind the theft didn't use bank cards, judging from security camera footage. Instead, the cybercriminals appeared to gain control of the machines with a "connected device," possibly a smartphone, according to police. Targeted ATMs were made by German manufacturer Wincor Nixdorf, which admits some of its machines in Taiwan were hacked as part of a "premeditated attack." Three different (unspecified) strains of mal...

Well dear readers today we will take a look at what a processor is made up of and different components it contains and also we will decipher this technical mambo jumbo for you. This figure illustrates the innards of a typical generic processor or CPU as well all know. The thin wires are visible and connected to this main sort of a chip die. The center rectangle is the main  heart of our processor. The basic building block of any processor are transistors. Billions and Quadrillions of them. Microprocessors Processor Transistor count Date of introduction Quad-core + GPU AMD Trinity 1,303,000,000 2012 Quad-core z196 1,400,000,000 2010 Quad-core + GPU Core i7 Ivy Bridge 1,400,000,000 2012 Quad-core + GPU Core i7 Haswell 1,400,000,000 2014 How do we create processors? We take a raw silicone and then melt it to form an ingot.  Afterwards we spin this ingot to form a wafer which is thoroughly tested with lasers for its the precision in its sur...
