28 Memory vs. Storage Hard Drive storage RAM memory Storage, also known as mass media or auxiliary storage, refers to the various media on which a computer system can store data. Storage devices hold programs and data in units called files. Memory is a temporary workplace where the computer transfers the contents of a file while it is being used. 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 28
29 Why Is Storage Necessary? Storage devices: Retain data when the computer is turned off Are cheaper than memory Play an important role during startup Are needed for output 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 29
30 Storage Devices Storage devices are categorized by: The type of operations they perform The method they use to access the information The technology they use Their location in the storage hierarchy Their capacity and speed 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 30
31 Sequential vs. Random Access Storage Tape Drive sequential storage Floppy Disk Drive random-access storage Hard Disk random-access storage Sequential Storage devices that read and write data in a serial (one after the other) fashion Random-Access Storage devices that read and write data without going through a sequence of locations 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 31
32 Storage Technologies: Magnetic and Optical Magnetic Storage Optical Storage CD/DVD drive Magnetic Storage devices use disks or tapes that are coated with magnetically sensitive material Optical Storage devices that use laser beams to read patterns etched into plastic disks 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 32
33 Magnetic Disk Storage A disk is formatted; it is divided into tracks and sectors, and a file allocation table (FAT) is created. Track circular band Sector pie shaped section Cluster two or more adjacent sectors FAT keeps track of specific locations of files Track Sector Cluster 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 33
34 Cross-section of a disk Optical Disk Storage Disk surface magnified Microscopic indentations called pits scatter the laser beam s light. A light-sensing device receives no light from the pits. A signal is sent to the computer corresponding to a 0 in the binary system. Flat, reflective areas, called lands, bounce the light back to the light sensing device, which sends a signal corresponding to a Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 34
35 The Storage Hierarchy The three levels of storage hierarchy are: Online storage Also called primary storage, it is made up of the storage devices that are actively available to the computer system. User action is not required. Near-online storage Also called secondary storage, it is not readily available to the computer system. The user performs an action, such as inserting a disk, to make it available. Offline storage Also called tertiary storage or archival storage, it is not readily available to the computer system. Devices such as tape backup units store data for archival purposes. 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 35
36 Floppy Disk Computers Are Your Future Chapter 5 Storage Capacity and Speed Hard Drive CD ROM / DVD Capacity 720 KB to 1.44 MB Access Time 100ms Capacity Up to 80 GB Access Time 6 to 12ms Capacity CD-ROM 650 MB; DVD 17 GB Access Time 80 to 800ms A storage device s performance is measured by: Capacity The number of bytes of data that a device can hold Access Time The amount of time, in milliseconds (ms), it takes the device to begin reading data 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 36
37 Hard Disks Platter Read/Write head Hard disks are high-speed, high-capacity storage devices. They contain metal disks called platters. They contain two or more stacked platters with read/write heads for each side. Hard disks can be divided into partitions to enable computers to work with more than one operating system. 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 37
38 Factors Affecting a Hard Disk s Performance Seek time or positioning performance How quickly the read/write head positions itself and begins transferring information. It is measured in milliseconds (ms). Spindle speed or transfer performance How quickly the drive transfers data. It is measured in rotations per minute (RPM). 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 38
39 Floppy and Zip Disks and Drives Floppy Drive Click on the picture to see it work. Zip Drive A disk or diskette is a portable storage medium. High-density floppy disks that are commonly used today store 1.44 MB of data. Disks work with a disk drive. Zip disks store up to 750 MB of data and are not downwardly compatible with floppy disks. Floppy Disk 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 39
40 CD-ROM Discs and Drives CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc- Read Only Memory. CD-ROM drives can not write data to discs. They are capable of storing 650 MB of data. They are used for storing operating systems, large application programs, and multimedia programs. 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 40
41 CD-R and CD-RW Discs and Recorders CD-R Discs can be read and written to Discs can only be written to once CD-R drives are capable of reading and writing data CD-RW Discs can be read and written to Discs are erasable Discs can be written to many times CD-RW drives are capable of reading, writing, and erasing data 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 41
42 DVD-ROM Discs and Drives DVD stands for Digital Video Disc. DVD technology is similar to CD- ROM technology. DVDs are capable of storing up to 17GB of data. The data transfer rate of DVD drives is comparable to that of hard disk drives. DVD-R and DVD-RW drives have the ability to read/write data. 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 42

44 Solid State Storage Devices Smart Card Memory Stick Flash Memory Compact Flash Memory PC Card Micro Drive 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 44
45 Chapter 5 Summary Input is the software, data, and information that is entered into the computer s memory. Input devices such as the keyboard, mouse, and trackball enable the user to enter data. A pointing device enables the user to control movements of an on-screen pointer. Speech recognition software enables the user to enter data into a computer by speaking into a microphone. Video and images can be entered into a computer by way of digital cameras, scanners, and fax modems. Monitors enable the user to view the computer s processed data. The output is known as soft copy. 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 45
46 Chapter 5 Summary (continued) The two types of monitors are the CRT and the LCD. A monitor s quality is measured by screen size, resolution, and refresh rate. Printers produce permanent versions (hard copies) of the computer s output. The two basic types of printers are the inkjet and laser. Memory makes software and data available for the CPU s use. Storage devices are categorized by: Data access (sequential or random-access) Technology (magnetic, optical, or solid state) Hierarchy (online, near-online, or offline) Operations (read-only or read/write) 200 Prentice-Hall, Inc Slide 46
