Question No:01

Describe what is the storage device?

>A storage device is any computing hardware that is used for storing,
porting and extracting data files and objects. It can hold and store
information both temporarily and permanently, and can be internal or
external to a computer, server or any similar computing device.
A storage device may also be known as a storage medium or storage
media.
There are two different types of storage devices:

=>Primary storage devices: Generally smaller in size, these are designed

to hold data temporarily and are internal to the computer. They have the
fastest data access speed, and include RAM and cache memory.

=>Secondary storage devices: These usually have large storage capacity,

and they store data permanently. They can be either internal or external to
the computer, and they include the hard disk, optical disk drive and USB
storage device.

What are the types of storage devices?list each.

Storage devices are the computer hardware used to remember/store

data.

There are many types of storage devices, each with their own benefits and
drawbacks.

Explain the types?

Hard Drive Disk:

Hard Disk is mainly largest data storage device which is
used for External Memory and a permanent Storage,in computer HD need
for operating system, software titles, and most other files are stored in the
hard disk drive.Hard drive keeps a hold of its data even when powered off.
That’s why you can restart a computer, which powers down the HDD, but
still have access to all the data when it’s back on

Solid State Drive:

Is a type of nonvolatile storage media that stores

persistent data on solid-state flash memory. SSD is similar to Pen Drive or
memory card but its much faster then normal Pen Drive or Hard drive
.There is Two key components make up an SSD a flash controller and
NAND flash memory chips. Unlike a hard disk drive (HDD) is moving parts
which keeps somewhere slow speed and less lifetime due to
movements,but in SSD has no moving parts to break or spin which allow
faster speed. but now the cost is higher than HDD.
SSD mainly used to Storage OS rather than other others storage,Operating
Systems works fast primarily C drive is SDD and other storage is normal
HDD is used.

Punch card:
A punch card is a simple piece of paper stock that can
hold data in the form of small punched holes, which are strategically
positioned to be read by computers or machines. It is an early computer
programming relic that was used before the many data storage advances
relied upon today. A punch card is also known as a punched card, IBM
card or Hollerith card.

Floppy Disk:
A floppy disk, like a cassette tape, is made from a thin piece of
plastic coated with a magnetic material on both sides. However, it is
shaped like a disk rather than a long thin ribbon.A floppy or floppy disk, a
floppy diskette is a type of storage media, capable of storing electronic
data, like a computer file.

Zip Disk:
The Zip drive is a removable floppy disk storage system that was
introduced by Iomega in late 1994. Considered medium-to-high-capacity at
the time of its release, Zip disks were originally launched with capacities of
100MB, then 250MB, and then 750MB.

CD:
Compact discs hold 700MB of data (equivalent to 80 minutes of audio,

hundreds of high-quality digital images, and small video files). Unlike

DVDs, CDs are not yet available in double-sided or dual-layer formats.
DVD:
Digital Versatile Disc or Digital Video Disc it is digital optical disc
storage format used to store high capacity data like high quality videos and
movies. an optical disc storage format invented and developed by Philips

and Sony in 1995. optical disc is in Single-layer, single-sided Single-layer,

double-sided,Dual-layer; single-sided,Dual-layer, double-sided.
