Memory Cost

In 1957 a 0.00098 KB RAM cost $392.
In 1955 the amount of ROM on an IBM hard-drive was 12 MB and $74800
In 1981, an 18 MB hard drive cost $2500.
In 1990 RAM costs were $50 per MB. At this cost it was $00.0047 per byte.
In 2000 the 2 GB of RAM cost just about $50, which is $00.00000000000174
The price and capacities of RAM and hard drive storage have come a long way in the past 30 years. Based on the information I believe that price of RAM will be able to buy a 100 TB hard drive in the years 2020. How I came to those years is right now in 2013 we are able to buy a 5 TB hard drive and the number is increasing rapidly year by year so with those numbers that is my prediction. As of right now for a hundred dollars you can purchase 8 GB’s of RAM, ten years ago you could purchase 1 GB of RAM for around two hundred dollars, so my prediction is how much RAM could be brought in ten years for a hundred dollars and around 16 GB’s of RAM based on previous prices on RAM. Also as of right now you can purchase a 1 TB hard drive for around a hundred dollars depending on the make and model, so in ten years I think we will also have about a 100 TB hard drive. So in ten years I believe based on prices on hard drives within the past that for a hundred dollars you will be able to buy a 50 TB hard drive. RAM prices being so cheap right now, a hundred dollars goes pretty far, and if you can afford to double that hundred dollars to two hundred dollars you’ll find to buy not only enough RAM to fill your notebook or desktop, but you can live with a smaller sized boot drive you can also upgrade to a SSD for even more savings.

    Nt1110 Unit 6 Analysis 1 Memory Cost Paper

    Over the past 30 years the cost of Electronics has steadily decreased. The cost of electronic storage has decreased greatly over the past 30 years as well. In this paper I will be talking about the decrease in the cost of RAM and Hard Drive Storage, how much will a 100TB HDD will cost when it becomes widely available in the future, and how much memory I will be able to buy with $100 in 10 years. In 1956, IBM created the first commercial Hard Drive called the IBM 305 RAMAC which held 5MB and cost a whopping 50 thousand dollars! Electronic storage started being more widespread during the early 1980’s, but it wasn’t until the 1990s that RAM and Hard Drive Storage begin to be cheap enough for the average person. Back in 1981 the price for one MB of Hard Drive storage space was $340! Most people couldn’t afford a computer back in the 1980’s because of the huge cost. Through the 1980’s the cost per MB fell from around $340 during 1981 then to $40 per MB in 1988, and finally to $9 per MB in 1990. The cost of one Bit of ram in 1981 was 0.000425 cents, in 1988 it was 0.000005 cents, in 1995 it was 0.000000158 cents, in 2000 the cost per Bit…

    NT1110 U6 Analysis 1 Memory Cost

    The RAM that you be able to purchase for $100.00 in the next ten years I imagine would be 8 tb or more because drives are becoming even more bigger. Like for instance today you can buy a 250GB for under $60 dollars. So I’m guessing it would be more cheaper from the information I gather that the hard drive will be inexpensive to buy but depending on what size do you get.…

    NT1110 Unit 8 Assignment 1

    Your OS will use the hard drive as a “back-up” or virtual memory if your PC runs out of RAM while you are working away. Using your hard drive as memory causes a serious performance hit, as hard drives are way, way slower than RAM. So, the trick is having enough memory, adding more does not help if you are doing nothing that needs more memory. Today, with a modern PC and a modern OS, you need about 4GB to achieve this for most standard users. If you do graphic work or work with a lot of applications at once, then more memory than even 4GB may be better. The trick is you want enough main memory (RAM) so the OS doesn't start using the hard drive as memory. Also, to address more than 4GB of RAM, you must have a 64 bit OS installed. If you are only using a 32 bit OS, it will only be able to use about 3.5GB of memory. So installing more is pointless, it…

    Seagate Case

    The price per megabyte of disk storage has gone done 40% per year from 1980-1995. Seagate believes that in order to stay competitive they must aggressively enhance product offerings and reduce prices. They also believe that in addition to that, they need to provide timely introductions and reduce production costs. However, the surging global demand in this industry is causing some facilities to run at full capacity very frequently, so Seagate needs to tailor its manufacturing strategy for these new products they’re trying to introduce to be based on high-volume and low-cost assembly and test. They are committed to lowering manufacturing costs and increasing volume production, and this is especially important given the short product life cycle in this industry. Given the projected future demand of their newest Cheetah and Barracuda models they need to decide how to structure the assembly and test facilities for each, expecting 300,000 units of each in demand in about a year, but that comes with high demand uncertainty.…

    Write Report on Moore's Law- Past, Present, and Future

    The term "Moore's law" was coined around 1970 by the Caltech[->1] professor, VLSI[->2] pioneer, and entrepreneur Carver Mead[->3] in reference to a statement by Gordon E. Moore[->4].[7]HYPERLINK \l "cite_note-SSCSnewsletterSept06-14"[14] Predictions of similar increases in computer power had existed years prior. Alan Turing[->5] in his 1950 paper Computing Machinery and Intelligence[->6] had predicted that by the turn of the millennium, we would have "computers with a storage capacity of about 10^9", what today we would call "128 megabytes." Moore may have heard Douglas Engelbart[->7], a co-inventor of today's mechanical computer mouse, discuss the projected downscaling of integrated circuit size in a 1960 lecture.[15] A New York Times[->8] article published August 31, 2009, credits Engelbart as having made the prediction in 1959.[16]…

    A Brief History of Library Automation

    An automated library is one where a computer system is used to manage one or several of the library's key functions such as acquisitions, serials control, cataloging, circulation and the public access catalog. When exploring the history of library automation, it is possible to return to past centuries when visionaries well before the computer age created devices to assist with their book lending systems. Even as far back as 1588, the invention of the French 'Book Wheel' allowed scholars to rotate between books by stepping on a pedal that turned a book table. Another interesting example was the 'Book Indicator', developed by Albert Cotgreave in 1863. It housed miniature books to represent books in the library's collection.…
