Transcript Mass Storage Working Group

Mass Storage Working Group
Charter
 To identify mass storage technology options
and identify capabilities, applications, and
the characteristics associated with using
these products/technologies in airborne
environments.
 To inform and educate the WAEA TC on
emerging mass storage technology trends
and the associated characteristics.
Actions Accomplished to Date
 Miltope-authored “White Paper” on the use of
sealed drive technology for IFE applications.
Posted on WAEA Web Site
 MBM-Lago-authored Technology Review Paper
on major storage technology types (Draft 1 – to be
posted on WAEA Web Site)
 Baseline Table establishing the types of mass
storage devices in use today and the emerging
storage technologies identified at this time
(Technology Block – following slide)
The Basic Technology Blocks
 MS Word Table
Future Actions Planned
 Need additional “Technology Experts” on the
panel.
 The WG will begin publishing monthly “summary
lists” of the various technologies (hard disks, CD
ROM, Solid State , etc.) which list technical
characteristics, and application uses. Technology
Expert participation required.
 When Summary Lists are complete, a White Paper
on the medium will be published.
 The WG will have the ongoing responsibility to
update the information with technology evolutions
and continue to inform the WAEA TC.
