What should a user do when operations on a USB memory device have been completed and it is necessary to remove it from the laptop computer?

Usually whaen you insert a memory stick into your computer a little icon appears on the bottom right corner of the screen. when you are done using your memory device you should right click on the icon. A little menu will appear. Click whichever one that says `safely remove hardware` Then a tiny message box will appear there after about 5 seconds. It says 1 hardware can now be removed safely.` You can exit the box and remove your memory stick.

How many movies can a 500 gb external hard drive hold?

This question is far too general to be answered specifically, but I'll give it a shot! The short answer is... "It depends." The verbose answer is...

It depends primarily on the length and general quality, which directly affects the size, of each movie file you intend to store. For example if you have a 105 minute movie file that is the same resolution and encoded/compressed in the same manner and quality as a DVD movie (MPEG2) then you can count on each file being approximately 2.8GB in size. Using this as a baseline you should be able to store approximately 357 DVD quality movie files on 1TB of storage. However if you have files with a lower resolution (as is often the case in digital cameras and internet videos) or a higher compression ratio (as there is in MPEG4 files) than a standard DVD then you'll be able to fit more files onto the drive, quite possibly many, MANY more. Of course this means that if you have higher quality files, like HD movies, then you won't be able to fit nearly as many on to 1TB of storage.

In summary, the question you should be asking yourself is "What number, type and quality of files to I want to store?" Answering this will tell you whether you need a 16GB thumb-drive, a RAID-0 array of eight 2TB drives (16TB total storage) or, most likely, something inbetween.

I hope this helps, good luck and take care!

How do we encode process store and retrieve memory?
