Description
Summary:Over the past few decades, the density of hard disk drives has been increasing at a significant rate. However the Bit Error Rate (BER) of hard disk drives has to be as low as possible. So we need to find the optimum combinations for the different head and media in order to obtain the best performance results and a low BER. Thus the Characterizer was created to aid in analyzing and examining the performance of storage drives.There are a few reasons to which why the Online Web Tool is needed. Firstly, it is due to the need of frequent travelling which was caused by the inability to communicate via normal means. Secondly, due to travelling, people also have to deal with jet lag related issues. Thirdly, there is always a replication of characterizer whenever a model is used. Next, there are models which are deemed as improved but are not showing any sign of improvement and finally, models that are feasible not were created.
