Chapter 1. Introduction
Abstract
This chapter will look at consumer electronic trends that drive demand for digital storage and develop an appreciation for the role of digital storage in the growth of consumer electronics. It will examine the role of product price in the growth of consumer products for most markets and how this is impacted by the cost of the digital storage used. Readers will get an initial exposure to the development of standard consumer device functions and how these could be integrated more tightly with the digital storage devices. This chapter presents some rules for the design of digital storage into consumer devices in order to create more successful products. It then goes on to review the role of memory in processor execution as well as mass storage and develop the concepts of a digital storage hierarchy for mobile and static consumer applications, leading to considering the use of hybrid storage products in consumer products.

Chapter 2. Fundamentals of Hard Disk Drives
Abstract
In this chapter, you will learn about the history and uses of hard disk drives as well as their basic layout, data organization, and operation. You will also have a better understanding of the self-monitoring and reliability specifications for hard disk drives. We will explore how disk drives are designed for various consumer applications and discuss the factors that determine the cost of a hard disk drive and its impact on CE product price. This chapter shows the development of hard disk drive electrical interfaces and looks at the future development of hard disk drive technology and the speed of hard disk drive areal density growth.

Chapter 3. Fundamentals of Optical Storage
Abstract
This chapter will review the optical storage products now available on the market and review the basic operation and history of optical drives and disks, including CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disc. It will provide a quick overview of how data is organized on an optical disk. We provide a guide to the user through the issues and expectations on optical disk reliability and longevity. It will help you learn about what could drive the use of high capacity optical disks and new technology, such as holographic recording.

Chapter 4. Fundamentals of Flash Memory and Other Solid-State Memory Technologies
Abstract
In this chapter, we review the history of flash memory technology and describe the basic flash operations of erase, write, and read as well as the difference between NOR and NAND flash memory and multilevel cells. We explore the causes and alleviation of flash memory cell wear and flash bit errors. We review embedded versus removable flash memory technology (cards) and learn how flash file systems work. We see how die stacking can be used to increase the volumetric density of flash-based devices. We learn about 3D flash and emerging solid-state technologies and what we should expect about the cost of flash memory in the next few years.

Chapter 5. Storage in Home Consumer Electronic Devices
Abstract
In this chapter, we look at the functions, design trade-offs, and uses of digital storage in common household consumer electronic products. In particular, we consider the trade-offs for consumers and providers for in-home direct-attached and networked storage as well as online network DVR. We explore developments in IP set-top boxes and Smart TVs and look at trends in digital storage for game consoles. We explore video requirements in the future and their impact on digital storage capacity requirements in the home.

Chapter 6. Storage in Automotive and Mobile Consumer Electronic Devices
Abstract
We will look at the functions, design trade-offs, and use of digital storage in common mobile consumer electronic products, including in the demanding environment of automobiles. We will learn what storage capacities will be required for future mobile players and how to choose the best type of storage from the mobile storage hierarchy. We will find out how digital storage is integrated into still and video digital cameras, AV players, mobile phones, and other mobile consumer products and discuss potential future applications, including life logs.

Chapter 7. Developments in Mobile Consumer Electronic Enabling Technologies
Abstract
This chapter will show what sort of display technology is useful in a consumer device. It also explores the trade-offs in performance and power for mobile music and video players and how new energy sources could lead to richer content available for viewing using these devices in the future as well as longer time between charges. We will lay out a discussion for consumer metadata standards and how these could be used by cloud and on premise artificial intelligence and look at how voice and image recognition will change our interaction with our devices and create useful metadata.

Chapter 8. Integration of Storage in Consumer Devices
Abstract
In this chapter, we demonstrate the contribution of digital storage devices to the costs of consumer devices and show examples of basic consumer applications that are becoming standard features in consumer devices. We explore trends in the development of greater intelligence in storage devices and show how digital storage devices can be matched to various applications. We also project trends leading to the incorporation of applications in digital storage devices and the economic and performance implications of this trend.

Chapter 9. Home Network Storage, the Cloud and the Internet of Things
Abstract
This chapter will discuss trends in home networking including performance and digital storage capacity requirements and present various implementation options for home network storage. We will evaluate the major drivers of networking in the home including media sharing and home reference data backup and discuss the growing impact of consumer IoT and artificial intelligence on home networking and digital storage requirements. We will show why human-related content is larger than any other type of content and why this trend will increase in the future. We will discuss typical network storage devices and the design of network storage devices for the home. We will project the growth of direct-attached and network storage devices in the home, introduce the concept of home gateways and storage as well as look at the options for providing digital rights protection for commercial and quasi-commercial content as well as privacy for nonshared personal content.

Chapter 10. The Future of Home Digital Storage
Abstract
In this chapter, we will estimate digital storage capacity demand created by personal content sharing in the home and across the Internet. We will present the advantages and disadvantages of convergence vs. single-purpose devices and the implications for digital storage and study the impact of downloading and streaming on physical content distribution. We will look at the use of a life log of ongoing recorded life experiences to create a personal memory assistant and what that enables. We explore the concept of distributed managed home storage pool for IoT and Machine Learning Processing and discover what new sorts of devices and business opportunities may be enabled by extensive personal life databases created by life logs and the cloud. We show estimates for the growth of digital storage device units as well as storage capacities and the requirements for these applications in the future as well as examine the implications of digital content as our cultural legacy and history for future generations.
