    Lesson 1

    Computer Data Storage

    Objectives:
    At the end of the lesson, you are expected to:

    1. Describe storage system.


    2. Classify the various components and types of storage system.
    3. Know the factors to be considered in evaluating a Storage Device.
    Introduction
    All storage systems have a particular component, including
    having a storage medium and a storage device, portability,
    availability, volatility, and how data is accessed and
    represented, the type of storage technology that should be
    used, and the like. The storage system has two parts, namely
    the storage medium and the storage device. A storage medium
    is a storage system where data is saved or stored, like a DVD,
    flash memory, etc. A storage device is a part of hardware like a
    DVD drive, USB drive, in which the storage medium will be
    inserted to be read and written.
    Activity

    Supposed that you need to exchange a large size


    file for your friend. What type of storage media
    would you use? Would you please list at least
    three classes and explain why it is appropriate
    to save large-size files?
    Analysis

    What do you think will be the


    size of a typical hard drive of a
    personal computer in the next
    five years?
    Analysis

    What storage medium is helpful for


    you in your studies?
    Analysis

    What storage medium is helpful for


    businesses?
    Abstraction
    Storage System Components:
    Storage Device
    -DVD drive, flash memory card reader, etc.
    -It is usually identified by a letter.
    Storage Media
    -DVD, flash memory, etc.
    -Media inserted in the device are used.
     A storage device can be internal, external, or remote.
     Storage devices are nonvolatile.
     Logical File Representation
    -User's view of the way data is saved or stored.
     File: program, document, or image
    -They are stored on a storage medium.
     Filename: name labeled to a file by the user.
     Folder: a label that placed on a storage medium which files are stored

     Physical File Representation


    The method by which data is physically saved or stored on a storage
    medium and read by a computer.

    Figure 7.1 Categories of Application Software


    Magnetic Disks
     Records data using magnetic spots on the disk.
     Disks are divided into sectors, clusters, and tracks.
     Data is written and read using read/write heads.
     Common Type:
     Hard Disks Hard Disk Drives (HDDs)
     A storage instrument consists of one or more metal magnetic
    discs sealed permanently with an access system inside its
    drive.
     Use one or more metal disks.
     Data is saved or stored magnetically.
     In Hard Disk Drives, disks were permanently sealed inside the
    hard drive to avoid contamination and help the discs spin
    faster.
    Optical Discs
     Optical media like CDs and DVDs saves or stores data
    optically using laser beams.
     Data will be permanently burned on the disc.
     Rewritable optical media can be rewritten or change
    and erased.
     The standard-sized of this disc is 120mm, and the
    smaller disc size is 80mm, called minis.
     CDs and DVDs use multiple layers and multiple sides to
    increase capacity.
     Standard CDs hold 650MB up to 700MB.
     Standard DVDs hold 4.7GB for a single-layer disc and
    8.5GB for a double-layer disc.
    Recordable Discs

    These recordable discs can be written but cannot be
    reused again and erased data.
     Most common formats:
    CD-R Discs: Recordable CD
    DVD-R Discs: Recordable DVD

    Rewritten Discs
     It can be written, recorded, erased, and reused.
     Most common formats:
     CD-RW
     DVD-RW
    Flash Memory Systems
     Commonly found in the form of:
     Flash memory cards
     USB flash drives
     Solid-state drives
     Hybrid hard drives
     Digital cameras, digital music players, handheld PCs,
    smartphones, notebook computers, and the like are small
    storage devices.

    Other Types of Storage Systems
     Remote storage
     It uses a storage device that is not directly part of
    the PC being used.
     Examples of Remote Storage
     Network Storage
     It can be accessed using a local network.
     Online Storage
     It can be accessed using the Internet.
    Smart Card
     A Credit card plastic size device that contains some
    computer circuitry to be used as a storage device.
     Can store up to 64KB files.
    A smart card is used to store prepaid amounts of digital
    cash or personal information of a person.

    Storage System for Large Computer Systems and Networks
     Large Computer Systems and Networks mostly use a
    storage server.
     Storage Server
    o It is a hardware device that contains multiple
    high-speed hard drives.
     This is commonly used by businesses and companies
    that have a large amount of data to be store .

    Figure 7.4 Storage Server


    Network Attached Storage (NAS)
     A high-performance storage server that is connected
    to a network to provide storage for computers on the
    web.

    Figure 7.5 Network Attached Storage


    Storage Area Network
    • A collection of hard disks and other storage devices
    that serves as storage for another computer network.

    Figure 7.6 Storage Area Network


    Factors to consider in evaluating a Storage Device
    o Speed
    o Compatibility
    o Storage Capacity
    o Convenience
    o Portability

    Most user requires:


    o Hard Drive
    o Solid-state Drive
    o Online Storage
    o Flash or USB Drive
    Application

    Why can CD-ROM discs not be erased or altered, and CD+RW


    can be changed, rewritten, or erased?

    List at least five advantages and disadvantages of using


    online storage.
    Good job my dear students thank you for cooperation in
