Data Storage Devices

you delete it to your recycle bin and them right click on the item and press delete.

1. When data is recorded onto magnetic tape, it is written in blocks with inter-block gaps between them. The rate at which data is written or read determines how the tape drives will have to cope with the rate at which data goes on and off the tape as well as the rate at which data is supplied to or demanded from the host.

fire wire, map both drives cut and past Connect them both to the computer and copy the contents from one hard drive and paste it into the other. If you don't have enough USB interfaces ( connections) to connect them both then make a folder on your desktop and copy the files from the source hard drive into the folder on your desktop. Then connect the destination hard drive and move the contents from the desktop o your destination drive. From the Book on Hardware written by ME

Benefits and drawbacks of using a CD-ROM presentation

The primary mass storage device is your hard drive. The hard drive is what everything you download is normally saved to. It also contains program files and recent activity on the computer.

Well for mac you can only back up your data when you have a secondary storage hard drive, for windows it gives you more space to download and to use it, basic

memory stick, secure digital SD cards, hard disc, floppy discs, CD ROMs, zip disk,

The abbreviation is of Universal Serial Bus, which refers to the way the device corresponds with a computer in order to deliver or exchange files.

The physical link is a small 4-pole connector, but there is of course a goodly amount of controlling electronics with it.

There there are very many USB devices, of which the small portable memory "stick" is perhaps the simplest. Digital cameras also use USB connections to allow you to transfer images from them to computers.

The Universal Disk Format (UDF) is a standardised file system for optical discs. The UDF standard was adopted by the DVD Consortium as a standard format for DVDs. Although a standard there are variations which means that not all discs can be read by all suitable machines.

The role of a disk drive is to store (write) and retrieve (read) digital information for a computer system.

Storage may be either on magnetic disks (Hard Disk Drive - HDD), in semiconductors (Solid State Drives - SSD), or it may use a combination of magnetic disks and semiconductors (Hybrid Hard Disk Drive - HHDD).

In all cases, data is retained even when power is removed (non-volatile).

Disk drives are located in the Secondary Tier of storage, that is they are not directly accessible to the computer (Primary Tier) but are accessed through an interface such as SCSI, ATA, or USB

In computing, an optical disc drive (ODD) is a disk drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs. The first digitally recorded optical disc was a 5-inch audio compact disc (CD) in a read-only format created by Philips and Sony in 1975.

If you are asking how data was first stored for computers to be retrieved later it was on punch cards. Holes would be placed in the cards representing 0's and 1's. Thousands of cards would be fed in which in turn would turn into a program. If any card was fed out o order they would need to start all over again.

As far as I'm aware USB drives don't go up to 500GB; the closest you'll be able to get is to buy an external HDD, which will normally cost around £ 30-50 depending on make.

SDRAM and DDR RAM are memory integrated circuits used in computers. The difference between the two is the speed because SDRAM is a single data rate which is slower than DDR RAM that stands for the double data rate. Which means the chip reads or writes two words of data per clock cycle.

Pen drive is an Removable Device. It is use to File sharing. Easy to Read and Write files. Pen Drive is not consider as an Input/Output Device.

It's use to erase and clean all files on the disk removing viruses and unnecessary files. Use also to install new Operating system to the disk if disk in particular is use on a computer system.

Hard drive, external hard drive, floppy disk, memory stick, CD-ROM and Recordable DVD are all storage devices.

You can use a number of different things to store files. Here are some of the basics:

* External Hard Drive (connects via USB/Firewire) * USB Flash Drive

* Any type of multimedia card (SD, XD, Compact Flash) I'm sure there are others, but this list exceeds the two that you asked for, so I'll stop there.

The storage device that stores the least amount of information is a floppy disk which only has a average storage space of 1mb

RAM is a primary storage medium, but it is volatile. Cache memories storage frequently accessible data.

Memory refers to random access memory (RAM) and storage refers to your hard disk space. Hard disk is what you save all you files and operating systems on and ram remembers where to find recently used items in order to bring them back fast. It's like if you think of your house as your storage. All the stuff you own is in your home but stuff you used recently you remember exactly wear it is, like maybe you wallet or keys, and that would be your memory

it is an input device

reprogrammable memory
