La velocidad de rotación del disco duro (RPM) desempeña un papel fundamental en el rendimiento del almacenamiento. Los platos más rápidos proporcionan tiempos de acceso más cortos y un mayor rendimiento, lo que lleva a muchos usuarios a preguntarse si las RPM también afectan a la fiabilidad. ¿Se desgasta antes una unidad de 7.200 RPM que un modelo de 5.400 RPM? Entre los datos de ingeniería, la documentación de los fabricantes y la experiencia de campo, la conclusión [...]
Clean Room
Table of Contents Risks of Opening a Hard Drive Outside a Clean Room Inside a hard drive, read/write heads float a tiny distance above spinning platters.A single dust particle can scratch tracks, destroy servo information, and wipe out entire file systems. When someone opens a drive on a desk or in a workshop, dust, fibers, […]
Compression Ratio
Table of Contents Storage Pressure and the Role of Compression Backups, log archives, and disk images grow faster than most storage budgets.You can add more disks, but that only delays the next capacity problem. Compression introduces a smarter option.Instead of storing every repeated pattern again, you reduce redundancy and keep a smaller representation that still […]
Ventajas e inconvenientes de las unidades SSD como discos duros externos
Índice Introducción: Por qué las unidades SSD externas son cada vez más populares El aumento de los flujos de trabajo móviles, la creación de contenidos en 4K y 8K y la colaboración remota han convertido el almacenamiento portátil en una función esencial para muchos usuarios. A medida que estas cargas de trabajo se expanden, las unidades de estado sólido externas (a menudo llamadas SSD portátiles) han ganado tracción por su velocidad, fiabilidad y [...]
Context Switch
Table of Contents CPU Time as a Shared Resource Modern operating systems juggle dozens or hundreds of active threads.Only a few CPU cores exist, so most threads wait in queues while a small subset runs. A context switch lets the scheduler pause one running thread and resume another.This rapid switching creates the illusion of parallelism […]
Data Acquisition
Table of Contents Incident Scene: Data at Risk Before Collection When an incident occurs, the first instinct often involves “looking around” the live system.Unplanned clicks, root logins, or file copies can alter timestamps, logs, and unallocated space before anyone records a clean state. Data acquisition solves this problem.It focuses on collecting data in a controlled […]
Data Migration
Table of Contents Data Migration as a Planned Change, Not a File Copy Organizations rarely move data just once.New storage, new SaaS platforms, and system upgrades all push information from one place to another. Data migration handles that change as a controlled project, not a simple copy.The goal is to move data between systems or […]
Data Imaging
Table of Contents Disk Imaging as a Safety Net for Damaged Drives When a disk starts clicking, throwing I/O errors, or reporting bad sectors, every extra read increases the risk of failure.In that moment, copying individual files often does more harm than good. Disk imaging offers an alternative.You capture a complete, block-level copy of the […]
Digital Forensics
Table of Contents Digital Forensics in Modern Incidents A laptop leaks sensitive documents.A server runs strange processes at night.An employee deletes critical files right before leaving. In each case, someone has to answer three questions: what happened, when, and who was involved.Digital forensics provides the structured process to collect, preserve, and analyze digital evidence so those […]
