Data Storage Devices

I use this video to DVD burner to burn my favorite movies and videos to DVD. It only takes me a few steps to burn DVD.

First, download the videos to your computer, download a DVD burner and run it.

Second, load files to DVD burner, insert DVD disc, make some operations like editting the effects, cropping and trimming...(optional)

Third, click burn button.

In the link you will read more details about how to burn DVD and free downloading a DVD burner.

Self-created DVd could be a surprising gift for your friends and families. Try it by yourself!

Most computer hard-drives are labelled C:

The recovery partition is usually labelled D:

The internal CD or DVD drive is usually labelled E: and

Removeable storage usually gets the label F:

At least - that's how the drives on my laptop are labelled !

The speed of a storage drive/hard drive/hdd is measured in RPMs or Revolutions Per Minute. The faster the RPM, the faster the drive can can access data.

Most laptops have 5,400 RPM HDDs while some have 7,200 RPM HDDs.

Most dektop computers have 7,200 RPM ones while some top of the line models run at 10,000 RPM (such as the Seagate Velociraptor)

There are also Solid State Drives (SSDs) which are just beginning to become popular that contain no moving parts. These speeds are measured in Mb/s which rates how much data can be transferred per second. HDDs can also be measured in this way but RPM speed is more common. SSDs also have separate read and write speeds

possibly firewire. its 400mb/sec

This is a very general question. There are many types of data storage devices, but the most common storage device that holds data instructions and information we think about today in the modern personal computer is the Hard Disk Device (HDD).

The HDD is an example of a magnetic storage media. Other example are tape drives, and floppy disks. Other types of storage are Optical (CD's and DVD's) and solid state devices like flash drives.

700MB is the size of a CD. A DVD will hold 4.7GB. A full length movie will usually be between 3 and 4GB. Movies can be compressed to a smaller size but at the cost of viewing quality.

Primary storage is volatile; meaning it cannot retain data values indefinitely. In other words, when power is turned off, all contents are lost.

Secondary storage is non-volatile.

Unplug the power cord

It depends on the size of the card and the speed.

SD (Secure Digital Flash) media cards go from 64 MB to 2 GB

There is a similar but different standard, SDHC (Secure Digital High Capacity) for cards of 4 GB and higher.

SD cards range from under $5 to over $150 depending on the capacity and speed

$30-$40

The purpose of a Zip drive is to decrease download time and save room on the hard drive. Zip files can be transferred faster by email. Windows XP has a built-in unzip program, making it easy to access the files.

• Hard drive
• Flash drive
• Digital tape

ROM (Read Only Memory) contains the data necessary to start the booting process, and is put there by the manufacturer. It is not meant to be altered by the user. RAM (Random Access Memory) is the volatile memory the computer user is meant to use in processing data. It is volatile as, unless the data is saved to the hard-drive before closing down the computer, the data is lost.

One can purchase a USB data cable from most drugstores, including CVS, Rite Aid and Walgreens. One can also purchase USB data cables from electronics stores such as Best Buy or Radio Shack, and through online suppliers such as DHgate and Monoprice.

Temporary storage is ram, or memory, reason it is temporary is that when you switch the computer off, all information that was stored in memory is now gone.

Permanent storage would be the original type of ROM. It was written to once and could never be changed. That was mainly used for BIOS instructions. While hard drives are non-volatile, meaning they don't need power to retain their memory, they are not permanent.

Nonvolatile storage is hard drives (both internal and external), CD's, DVDs, floppies, USB devices (including flash memory), because data that is stored on these devices remain there until physically changed, or deleted. The data is not lost when the power is turned off.

optical memory: it is a memry device that uses laser beams ro store data . for e.g. CDROM.

magnetic memory: it is a memory device that uses magnetic tape to store data . for e.g. hard disk

optical memory are advanced and faster than magnetic memory device..

Most floppy disks will come pre-formatted. All floppy disks need to be formatted to be usable.

your computer will ask you if you want to delete the pictures. or if you/ve already put them on the computer, you can delete them manually by scrolling through and deleting them one by one.

Serial port generally refers to Serial ATA port. These Serial ATA ports are better known as "SATA" ports. You will find them on Hard Drives and Solid State Drives specifically. But you may also find them on peripherals such as card readers for Flash media and Optical Drives. SATA is categorized into 3 categories SATA, SATA II and SATA III. The Function of SATA is to transfer data. Previous to SATA, Computers used "IDE" service which was far slower and more expensive to manufacture than SATA.

RAM is the correct answer

A disadvantage of electronic data storage might include the fact that the data cannot be retrieved on a variety of platforms or without an internet connection. Other disadvantages include the security of electronic data that may be hacked or stolen.

The amount of RAM a computer can have is limited by the motherboard (something like 12 GB is reasonable), and the hard drive space is limited by how large they make them (something around 1,500 GB per connection available on the motherboard is reasonable)

You can't. If they are still on the computer, you can open system restore and click "Choose a different restore point". Then click next, and in the bottom left hand corner of the windows, click "Show more restore points". If that doesn't work, they are gone. The OS will automatically delete old restore points.

A zip disc is a storage device similar to a floppy. The media is pricey, though, so i would suggest you use CD-R/W instead of zip.
