  • 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.

  • Hitachi's Broadcast/Network Hybrid Digital Recorder
    Hitachi’s Broadcast/Network Hybrid Digital Recorder 66 Hitachi’s Broadcast/Network Hybrid Digital Recorder — A Whole New Way of Watching Media — Atsushi Ugajin OVERVIEW: In the market for video recorder units, DVD (digital versatile Tsutomu Numata disk) recorders have seen explosive growth in recent years. HDD (hard disk drive)/DVD recorders in particular are predicted to enter households quickly, because of their convenience. The rapid increase of households connected to broadband networks has also caused an increase in the number of PCs and "information appliances" that can connect to networks and communicate from within the home. This has led this phenomenon to be referred to as a fusion of broadcast and communication within the home. With this concept in mind, Hitachi developed a new type of HDD/DVD recorder. In future, Hitachi will develop a hybrid digital recorder as the core of the home network, while expanding the capacity and features of the hard disk, the recorder’s key component, and making it more quiet and energy efficient. INTRODUCTION (b) boosted hard drive performance and capacity, DVD (digital versatile disk) recorders recently joined (c) advances in moving image digital recording the ranks of flat panel plasma TVs and digital cameras technology; as must-have digital gadgets, and all three items (d) integration of technology as a result of the shift continue to be shipped in Japan in increasing volume. from analog to digital, This is especially true of DVD recorders, 830,000 of (e) increased network speed. which were shipped in Japan between January and (2) User needs August 2003, as they begin to enjoy real demand.

  • 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.
