Abstract
Recently, Disk array is widely used as a long term storage device in PACS, but reliability is not enough in relation to annual failure rate of disk. Between October 2016 and February 2017, we scanned the serial port of the hard disk while reading or storing medical images on a PACS reader. The data rate was calculated from the data stored in HDD 99ea that were used in the PCAS image storage device and in HDD 101ea that were used in the Personal Computer. When a CT image was read from a PACS reader, Reading was 87.8% and Writing was 12.2% in units of several tens of megabytes or less. When the CT image was stored in the PACS reader, Reading was 11.4% and Writing was 88.6% in units of several tens of megabytes or less. While reading the excel file on the personal computer, Reading was 75% and Writing was 25% in less than 3 MB, and In the process of storing the excel file on the personal computer, Reading was carried out by 38% and Writing was carreid out 62% in the units of 3 MB or less. The transfer rate of the hard disk used in the PACS image storage device was 10 GB/h, and the transfer rate per hour of the hard disk of the personal computer was 5 GB / h. Annual failure rate of hard disk of image storage system is 0.97 ~ 1.13%, Annual failure rate of Hard Disk of personal computer is 0.97 ~ 1.13%. the higher transfer rate is, the higher annual failure rate is. These results will be used as a basis for predicting the life expectancy of the hard disk and the annual failure rate.
