  • Use External Storage Devices Like Pen Drives, Cds, and Dvds
    External Intel® Learn Easy Steps Activity Card Storage Devices Using external storage devices like Pen Drives, CDs, and DVDs loading Videos Since the advent of computers, there has been a need to transfer data between devices and/or store them permanently. You may want to look at a file that you have created or an image that you have taken today one year later. For this it has to be stored somewhere securely. Similarly, you may want to give a document you have created or a digital picture you have taken to someone you know. There are many ways of doing this – online and offline. While online data transfer or storage requires the use of Internet, offline storage can be managed with minimum resources. The only requirement in this case would be a storage device. Earlier data storage devices used to mainly be Floppy drives which had a small storage space. However, with the development of computer technology, we today have pen drives, CD/DVD devices and other removable media to store and transfer data. With these, you store/save/copy files and folders containing data, pictures, videos, audio, etc. from your computer and even transfer them to another computer. They are called secondary storage devices. To access the data stored in these devices, you have to attach them to a computer and access the stored data. Some of the examples of external storage devices are- Pen drives, CDs, and DVDs. Introduction to Pen Drive/CD/DVD A pen drive is a small self-powered drive that connects to a computer directly through a USB port.

  • Computer Hardware SIG Non-Removable Storage Devices – Feb
    Computer Hardware SIG Non-Removable Storage Devices – Feb. 1, 2012 A hard disk drive (HDD; also hard drive, hard disk, or disk drive) is a device for storing and retrieving digital information, primarily computer data. It consists of one or more rigid (hence "hard") rapidly rotating discs (often referred to as platters), coated with magnetic material and with magnetic heads arranged to write data to the surfaces and read it from them. Hard drives are classified as non-volatile, random access, digital, magnetic, data storage devices. Introduced by IBM in 1956, hard disk drives have decreased in cost and physical size over the years while dramatically increasing in capacity and speed. Hard disk drives have been the dominant device for secondary storage of data in general purpose computers since the early 1960s. They have maintained this position because advances in their recording capacity, cost, reliability, and speed have kept pace with the requirements for secondary storage Types of Hard Drives Parallel ATA (PATA), originally AT Attachment (old term IDE), is an interface standard for the connection of storage devices such as hard disks, solid-state drives, floppy drives, and optical disc drives in computers. The standard is maintained by X3/INCITS committee. It uses the underlying AT Attachment (ATA) and AT Attachment Packet Interface (ATAPI) standards. The Parallel ATA standard is the result of a long history of incremental technical development, which began with the original AT Attachment interface, developed for use in early PC AT equipment. The ATA interface itself evolved in several stages from Western Digital's original Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) interface.

  • Files Transmission Using Media Transfer Protocol
    Files Transmission using Media Transfer Protocol Author: Conrad Chung, 2BrightSparks Introduction In this article we will describe what Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) is, as well as its advantages and disadvantages. The MTP protocol seeks to address concerns about the distribution of digital content in the consumer market as an increasing number of organizations create and distribute digital audio/video content. The aim of MTP is to deliver content via a secure, easy-to-use interface, and push it to a range of devices. What is Media Transfer Protocol? The Media Transfer Protocol, introduced by Microsoft, is a protocol designed for intelligent storage devices like smartphones and digital audio players. It is based on, and fully compatible with, the Picture Transfer Protocol (PTP). MTP allows the synchronization of files between portable devices and a personal computer (PC). A Brief History of MTP Standardized in 2000, PTP was originally developed to transfer images from a digital still camera to a PC. PTP is limited to transferring images and is an insufficient solution for media rich portable devices like smartphones and portable media players. Users required a method to transfer different file formats like media files, people contacts or video, which were not supported by PTP. Microsoft therefore introduced the MTP to address the shortcomings in PTP. Advantages of Media Transfer Protocol over USB Mass Storage Class Before the development of MTP, mobile phone manufacturers integrated USB Mass Storage Class (USB MSC) into their products to facilitate file transfers between PC and phones. However, since the standardization of MTP as a Universal Serial Bus (USB) device class in 2008, manufacturers have slowly started moving towards implementing support for MTP in their devices.
