Data Storage Devices

Yes, it is. Physical components of a computing system are referred to as hardware.

one of thmain most useful data storages are portable now like the usb or the floppy disk. the usb drive can come in many sizes. mostly when its the thinner or smaller ones normally can only keep 1-2 gb of storage on them but the bigger the flash drives are the more space that it can hold like mine i have 8 gb worth of storage on mine. and the floppy disks are very old school and arnt that quet good as flash drives ( youl be lucky to find a computer that still has the floppy disk srives in them) floppy disks are just regular disks incased inside a plastic cover. they are very old school and dont work as often as they should. more has changed with storage like bigger harddrives on computers. most of them able to keep over 50 games on them with many others items and downloads. others are also able to keep up with high speed gaming also. if you want much more information on this topic look it up on google or ay other search engine much more will show up than what i just typed. (if you have any more questins just send me a message or email me. im only 13 so i dont know everything about but i do know alot about them. i know more than my technology teacher!)

It is possible if all of these conditions are additionally met:

(a) you obtain a travel plug adapter so that you can use the US DVD player

(b) either your us DVD player will need to be able to play in PAL since the US uses NTSC -or- you'll need to bring an NTSC TV with another travel plug adapter (ignore (c) )

(c) connecting cables are different...prepare to adapters to get the audio and video to the non-US set....I was able to accomplish this by buying cheap parts at a Pound Store to cannabalize and make my own wires..

As far as I know, you pretty much need to be the one that hid the files in the first place, and you'd need to use whatever program you used to hide them, to locate them again. If you were the one that hid the files, access the program you used, and check the 'help' menu for an explanation of how to locate a hidden file, or check the software manufacturer's website to see if there is a FAQ section, message board, or forum of some sort.

A " bit " is a single one or zero. It has two states, and can only represent one of two values.

A " byte " is (usually) 8 bits working together, such that each bit is double the value of the bit to its right. A byte can represent 256 possible values.

A "kilobyte" is 1024 Bytes

A "word" is a unit of data of a defined bit length that can be addressed and moved between storage and the computer processor. Usually, the defined bit length of a word is equivalent to the width of the computer's data bus so that a word can be moved in a single operation from storage to a processor register. For any computer architecture with an eight- bit byte , the word will be some multiple of eight bits.

It isn't.

If you print something on acid-free paper, it will be easily readable in 200 years.

A harddisk, on the other hand, rarely last longer than 5-10 years even under the best conditions. A CD or DVD may last 50 years, but no one knows for sure yet.

Even putting physical reliability aside, it is not at all obvious that the programs we use in a few hundred years will be able to read the data formats we use today.

Compare to punched cards: They were a primary digital storage medium as recently as 40-50 years ago, but you will be hard put to find a punched card reader for a computer bought today. And possibly even harder put to find software that knows what the data means, especially for binary data.

Digital technology has its big advantages in operating on data - whether summing or copying, the computer is much less likely to make errors than a human - and in searching. Finding anything specific among millions of printed pages can be a hopeless task, while searching the same volume of digital data is trivial.

Digital technology has several massive advantages, but storage reliability is not one of them.

Yes, that is why a magnet nearby can erase the contents (hehehe)

Track on afloppy disc

Mainly lack of capacity. A floppy disk is usually 1.44 MB. Modern flash drives, hard drives, etc. are in the gigabytes and terabytes ! You can still use a floppy drive (I have a USB external floppy drive), but it will become more difficult to get new floppy disks as manufacturers abandon a rather antiquated media.

CD or compact disc

DVD or digital versatile disc

Mini SD

primary storage

Lets assume that each .mp3 song on average takes up 5MB, meaning 20 songs can be put on it.

Other sound files such as .wav or .mid are much smaller, most not exceeding 100KB, you can fit thousands of these on you zip disk

A DVD stores 4700 MB which is 4.7 Gigs a DVD Movies is usually around 700 MB or so. 4700/700 MB and your looking at a few hours of video. Hope this helped :)

flash drive

rom

yes

Backup storage refers to a storage device, medium or facility that is used for storing copies and instances of backup data. Backup storage enables the maintenance, management, retrieval and restoration of backup data for any individual, application, computer, server or any computing device.

ram is primary storage

The best way to clean a floppy disk is with an electromagnet not a regular magnet. If you can put it to the back of a large speaker when the speaker is turned on, that should work. On the other hand, if you wait about 10 years, that will also do it.

What kind of storage device? A flash drive is a small, usually rectangular device that can be plugged into computers and take data from the computer onto the flash drive.

If we are talking about physical possessions, then a purse can "store" a wallet, keys, etc.

1 Jump Drive they are electronic devices that allow you to store computer files. usually no bigger then 6cm and usually rectangular in shape

2 CD a CD allows you to store music and other electronic files. It is flat with one shiny side and a hole in the centre.

CDs hold around 700-800Mb,

DVDs hold around 4.5Gb (or 9Gb for dual-layer)

Flash drives can come in 128Mb, 256Mb, 512Mb, 1Gb, 2Gb, 4Gb, 8Gb, 16Gb and more recently, 32Gb.

Flash drives can hold more.

Blu-rays can hold up to 200Gb (although only 50Gb or 100Gb are readable with standard equipment).

The one with the largest hard drive and/or RAM. They can be built to your needs when ordering from a supplier.
