Hard Disk Drives

The colors are there just to help you get the connections wired to the other connectors correctly. As long as the connectors are correctly connected, the cables can be any color.

The WD, or Western Digital, line of external hard drives offer the advantages of compact design and easy portability combined with quality high capacity technology. They are available at Best Buy and most retailers where computer components are sold.

The standard XT originally came with a 10MB Seagate ST-412 hard drive

yes sound is a soft copy because we can heare it by speakers and spekers need electricity to run and sound cannot be touchable...........

Computer disks (hard drives or older floppy drives) store their information by creating a magnetic charge on a tiny spot of the disk for each little bit of information, which can be read again later. Passing a strong magnetic field over the disk changes the saved charge and it can't be read again as organized information.

CDs and DVDs don't store this way, so are safe from magnetic fields.

For any disk OTHER THAN THE ONE YOU BOOT FROM, simply open a command prompt and type:

format d: (where "d" is the designator of the disk that you want to format)

OR

open windows explorer, select "my computer" then right click on the drive you want to format (again, it can't be the disk you boot from"

If you want to format your C drive you'll need to boot from some other medium, such as the installation disk or a floppy.

SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) transfer rate is specified as mbps which is: "MegaBits Per Second". Note it is not "megabytes" per second. This can be somewhat misleading, since a higher number is derived from using the "megabit" rating rather than the "megabyte" rating. Obviously there are 8 bits in a byte, so specifying the rate in "mega bytes" would result in a 5 megabyte transfer rate specification.

A hard disk is known as a storage device (and vice versa) because the terms are interchangeable. Your hard drive on your computer is known as secondary storage (RAM is primary storage). This secondary storage is where nearly everything (music, documents, pictures, videos, etc.) is stored on your computer. It goes by the name of Hard drive, hard disk, storage device, and many other names.

No Master Slave designation needed. SATA Drives are plug-add-play.

Improve: SATA (Serial) Attached Drives improve data tansfer speeds up to 10-100 GBytes/per.

eSATA are (Externally) Serial-Attached Drives and SATA-II(Sata-2) Drives transfer data @ 300GBytes/per.

The next barrier of TerraByte data transfer has been developed and is already in production with a (SATA-3) designation attached

SATA, or Serial ATA cables don't really use pins, they're more a slide contact but they are still referred to as pins. There are also 2 types of SATA cables, one for the Power and one for the Data. The data cable is a 7 pin and the power is 15 pin.

Here's a URL to a site that shows the SATA power pinout.

You don't install external HDD's, you just plug them in. Usually they are USB now days which is plug and play. If this is not the case, google the model number and search the manufacturer's site for the info you seek; a driver may need to be downloaded from their site and installed before it will work!

There pay depends on how high up there position is ranging from £20,000 a year to £60,000

You need to run these 5 essential steps to remove all the spyware on your computer.

1. Run Deckard's System Scanner (DSS)

2. Run Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

3. Run the anti spyware removal programs spybot

4 Run Superantispyware

5. Run a complete scan with free curing utility Dr.Web CureIt!

Install threat fire which will enhance your antivirus protection

According to AVG if you update to the latest version you will be able to remove it.

use a laser to read and write data. Optical disks have very large storage capacity but they are not fast as hard disks. There are three basic types of optical disks: CD-ROM, WORM and erasable.

DVD-ROM is higher- capacity disc

There are different interfaces of which hard drives can be connected to the motherboard of computers.

ATA- More commonly ATA-133, the newest version not compatible with ATA-100(phased out) Typically this setup uses a Ribbon cable, however there are "Round" cables that have been made to reduce the turbulence and promote airflow inside the cases. These drives typically do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS.

SATA- Serial ATA, uses a thin small cable, typically red. This is the first version, and finding hardware that SATA I is difficult. these drives typicall do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS

SATA II - AKA SATA 3.0 GB, Uses an identical cable, but transfers data much more quickly. Most hard drives and computer accessories that use SATA are SATA II. Typically SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I. These drives are currently capable of spinning to a maximum of 10,000 RPMS

SATA III - AKA SATA 6GB/s, use a similar cable but transfers data at twice the rate of SATA II and four times the rate of SATA (first version). SATA III is also backwards compatible. In order to take full advantage of the SATA III technology it is necessary to have a SATA III motherboard, cable and HDD.

SCSI- Pronounced "SKUZZY" a high speed interface typically only used on High end workstations and servers. Has high bandwidth and uses ribbon cables similar in look to ATA, but has more pins and a different connector. Older versions for SCSI required "terminators" on the empty connectors however they are becomming less prevalent and are typically not used on the current SCSI 320 Format. These drives are typically the most expensive and rotate the fastest typically 15,000 RPM's

The CPU comprised of three main parts: AlU(ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT):- Does the actual Logic comparisons that need to be processed. Control Unit:-Can execute and store the results coming out of ALU. Registers:- store the data that is to be executed next.

I think the retail kit gives you a box, cables, maybe a manual and warranty info while the other does not.

The reason why some units disallow the copying of the standard operating procedures (SOP) onto a disk is because it makes it easier to steal operational secrets in case the disc is lost. Military operations need to be safeguarded in a central data center.

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.

Open two windows (one for C:, one for E:), right click on the file(s) in C: and while holding down the right mouse click drag files to E:. When you release you'll get a pop up window asking if you want to Copy (default), Move, Create Shortcut or Cancel.

Yes. there is a small amount of gold in pretty every silicon chip. Tiny gold wires connect the silicon chips to the connector pins on the chip's packaging. The connectors are often gold plated too. There are many chips on a hard drive controller pcb.
