Unlike other data cables (Ethernet, HDMI etc.), each end of a USB cable uses a different kind of connector; an A-type or a B-type. This kind of design was chosen to prevent electrical overloads and damaged equipment, as only the A-type socket provides power. There are cables with A-type connectors on both ends, but they should be used carefully.[4] Therefore, in general, each of the differ- ent “sizes” requires four different connectors; USB cables [7] have the A-type and B-type plugs, and the corresponding The basic USB trident logo receptacles are on the computer or electronic device.

The first 1.5 Mbit/s (Low Bandwidth or Low Speed) and 12 Mbit/s widely used version of USB was 1.1, which was released (Full Bandwidth or Full Speed). It did not allow for ex- in September 1998.

The USB 2.0 specification was released in April 2000 and USB 1.1 was the earliest revision that was widely adopted. was ratified by the USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) at the end of 2001. Hewlett-Packard, Intel, Lucent Tech- 2.1.4 USB 2.0 nologies (now Alcatel-Lucent), NEC and Philips jointly led the initiative to develop a higher data transfer rate, with the resulting specification achieving 480 Mbit/s, a 40-times increase over the original USB 1.1 specification. The USB 3.0 specification was published on 12 Novem- ber 2008. Its main goals were to increase the data transfer rate (up to 5 Gbit/s), decrease power consump- tion, increase power output, and be backward compat- ible with USB 2.0.[13] USB 3.0 includes a new, higher speed bus called SuperSpeed in parallel with the USB 2.0 bus.[14] For this reason, the new version is also called The Hi-Speed USB Logo SuperSpeed.[15] The first USB 3.0 equipped devices were presented in January 2010.[15][16] As of 2008, approximately six billion USB ports and in- terfaces were in the global marketplace, and about two billion were being sold each year.[17] In December 2014, USB-IF submitted USB 3.1, USB Power Delivery 2.0 and USB Type-C specifications to the IEC (TC 100 – Audio, video and multimedia systems and equipment) for inclusion in the international standard IEC 62680 “Universal Serial Bus interfaces for data and power”, which is currently based on USB 2.0.[18] A PCI USB 2.0 card for a computer motherboard USB 2.0 was released in April 2000, adding a higher max- 2.1 Version history imum signaling rate of 480 Mbit/s called High Speed, in addition to the USB 1.x Full Speed signaling rate of 2.1 Version history 3 12 Mbit/s.

    Hard disk drive 1 Hard disk drive Hard disk drive A 2.5" SATA hard drive [1] Date invented 24 December 1954 </ref> Invented by IBM team led by Rey Johnson A hard disk drive (HDD) is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. An HDD retains its data even when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. An HDD consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces. A disassembled and labeled 1997 HDD. All Introduced by IBM in 1956, HDDs became the dominant secondary major components were placed on a mirror, which created the symmetrical reflections storage device for general purpose computers by the early 1960s. Continuously improved, HDDs have maintained this position into the modern era of servers and personal computers. More than 200 companies have produced HDD units, though most current units are manufactured by Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital. Worldwide revenues for HDD shipments are expected to reach $33 billion in 2013, a decrease of approximately 12% from $37.8 billion in 2012. The primary characteristics of an HDD are its capacity and performance. Capacity is specified in unit prefixes corresponding to Overview of how an HDD functions powers of 1000: a 1-terabyte (TB) drive has a capacity of 1,000 gigabytes (GB; where 1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes).

  • 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.
