Computer is an electronic device for
storing and processing data that run on electricity. A computer has many parts. All the parts of the computer together make the computer system. Computer devices What are its Devices?
INPUT DEVICES : The devices which are used
to input the data and the program in the computer are known as "Input Devices'‘. Such as keyboard, mouse, microphone, camera, and scanner.
OUTPUT DEVICES : The devices that help in
getting and viewing the desired results are called output devices. Such as monitor, printer, speaker etc. PROCESSING UNIT: In the computer devices, a processing device is a part of component in a computer that manages the storage and retrieval of information.
network cards, graphics-processing units and sound cards.
Storage Devices: The Data storage is the recording of information/data in a storage device.
Examples: DNA and RNA, handwriting, phonographic storing,
magnetic tape, memory chips and optical discs. HOW STORAGE DEVICES WORK?
These devices use a mechanical device
known as a drive that connects to the computing device. The disk (cartridge or media) coated with iron oxide stores the information and is inserted into the drive. The drive rotates the disk at high speed via motor. Primary Storage Devices Examples RAM and ROM: Difference RAM ROM
Data- RAM is a volatile memory ROM is a non-volatile
Retention that could store the data memory that the could as long as the power is retain the data even when supplied. the power is turned off.
Read/Write Read and write operations Only read operations are
are supported. supported. Use Used to store the data It is typically used to store that has to be currently firmware or microcode, processed by CPU which is used to initialize temporarily. and control hardware components of the computer. Secondary Storage Devices Examples: Secondary storage allows for the storage of data ranging from a few bits to megabytes.
These devices store virtually all programs and
applications stored on a computer, including the operating system, device drivers, software applications and general user data and more.
Some of the secondary storage devices are internal
to the computer such as the hard disk drive, compact disk drive and floppy disk drive but floppy disk drive is not being used any more. 1. Memory Card : It is generally used in digital cameras. printers, game consoles, etc.
It is also used to store large amounts of data and
is available in different sizes.
To run a memory card on a computer you require
a separate memory card reader. 2. DVD: It is known as Digital Versatile Disc. They are circular flat optical discs used to store data. It has two different sizes one is 4.7GB single-layer discs and other one is 8.5GB double-layer discs.
DVDs look like CDs but the storage capacity of
DVDs is more than as compared to CDs. 3.Cloud and virtual storage:
Digital or cloud storage systems have replaced
secondary memory in recent years.
We can keep our documents and other items on
the cloud for just as much as we subscribe to cloud storage.
Many corporations, namely Amazon, Google,
Microsoft, and others, offer cloud services 4.HARD-DISK: It’sa hard disc drive (HDD) that uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve data.
It’s a non-volatile device that stores data that
could be changed or deleted an infinite number of times. Thank you to stay with us
