a. Enumerate and explain the different types of
storage devices

What is a Storage Device?


Aside from the devices attached on a PC, there are also
the so called storage devices that perform a special task in
computing system. Storage device is any apparatus for
recording computer data in a permanent or semi-
permanent form.

Types of storage devices

Floppy diskette- is a random access, removable data


storage medium that can be used with personal
computers. The term usually refers to the magnetic
medium housed in a rigid plastic cartridge measuring 3.5
inches square and about 2millimeters thick. Also called a
"3.5-inch diskette," it can store up to 1.44 megabytes
(MB) of data.
Compact disc (CD) – also called optical disc is a
nonmagnetic, polished metal disk used to store digital
information. The disc is read by the CD- ROM.
Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)- an optical disc technology
with a 4.7 gigabyte storage capacity on a single-sided,
one-layered disk, which is enough for a 133-minute
movie.
Jump disk and USB flash disk- is a plug-and-play
portable storage device that uses flash memory and is
lightweight enough to attach to a key chain. A USB drive
can be used in place of a floppy disk, Zip drive disk, or
CD.
Hard disk- is the main, and usually largest, data storage
device in a computer. The operating system, software
titles and most other files are stored in the hard disk drive.
LS-120- is a drive which supports a special floppy
diskette which can store up to 120MB of information as
well as being backwards compatible and still supporting
the standard 1.44MB floppy diskettes.
Zip disk-is a small, portable disk drive used primarily for
backing up and archiving personal computer files.
