1 Introduction to Computing INTRODUCTION TO Data Storage CPU AND MICROPROCESSOR Memory Used to store data, instructions, and information The operating system and other system software Application programs Data being processed by application programs Bytes are stored at specific locations or addresses
2 Memory Memory Size of memory is measured by the number of bytes available Memory Memory Volatile memory contents are lost when the computer is powered down Nonvolatile memory contents are not lost when the computer is powered down
3 Memory Random Access Memory (RAM) The memory chips in the system unit When the computer starts, operating system files are loaded from a hard disk into RAM
4 Memory Random Access Memory (RAM) RAM Chips Smaller in size than processor chips Packaged on circuit boards called single inline memory modules (SIMMs) or dual inline memory modules (DIMMs) Memory Random Access Memory (RAM) Configuring RAM The more RAM, the more programs and files a computer can work on at once Software usually tells you how much RAM is required Necessary RAM depends on what type of work the computer is used for
5 Affecting Processing Speed Virtual RAM Computer is out of actual RAM File that emulates RAM Computer swaps data to virtual RAM Least recently used data is moved 5A-30 Memory Nonvolatile memory Holds data when power is off Read Only Memory (ROM) Basic Input Output System (BIOS) Power On Self Test (POST) 5A-31
6 Memory Read-Only Memory (ROM) Cannot be modified Contents not lost when the computer is turned off PROM EPROM EEPROM Bus Address Bus Data Bus Bay
7 Cache Memory Helps speed computer processes by storing frequently used instructions and data Also called memory cache How Computers Process Data Flash memory Data is stored using physical switches Special form of nonvolatile memory Camera cards, USB key chains 5A-35
8 Affecting Processing Speed The bus Electronic pathway between components Expansion bus connects to peripherals System bus connects CPU and RAM Bus width is measured in bits Speed is tied to the clock 5A-36 T e a c h e r s D i s c o v e r i n g C o m p u t e r s Integrating Technology in the Classroom 3 rd Edition Secondary Storage
9 WHAT IS STORAGE? The media on which data, instructions, and information are kept The devices that record and retrieve data, instructions, and information Like a filing cabinet WHAT IS STORAGE? Storage Media and Devices Storage medium Also called secondary storage Physical material Storage device Mechanism used to record and retrieve Capacity measured in megabytes or gigabytes
10 Storage Devices Floppy Disk Hard Disk CD / DVD Miniature Cards Smart Cards Floppy Disks What is a floppy disk drive? Device that reads from and writes to floppy disk One floppy drive, named drive A If two floppy drives, second designated as drive B Also called secondary storage Floppy disk drive built into a desktop computer External floppy disk drive attaches to a computer with a cable p Fig. 7-6 Next
11 WHAT IS STORAGE? Floppy Disks Portable, inexpensive storage medium consisting of a thin, circular, flexible film enclosed in a squareshaped plastic shell Several sizes 8-inch 5.25-inch 3.5-inch shutter shell liner magnetic coating metal hub flexible thin film p Fig. 7-5
12 Floppy Disks How does a floppy disk drive work? Step 6. Read/write heads read data from and write data on floppy disk. Step 1. When you insert the floppy disk into drive, shutter moves to the side to expose the recording surface on disk. Step 2. When you initiate a disk access, circuit board on drive that contains electronics sends signals to control movement of read/write heads until they barely touch surface (film) inside floppy disk s shell. Step 5. Motor positions read/write heads over correct location on recording surface of disk. Step 4. Motor spins a shaft, which causes surface inside floppy Step 3. For write instructions, circuit board verifies whether or not disk can be written on. p Fig. 7-7 disk s shell to spin. Next Floppy Disks What are tracks and sectors? Track is narrow recording band that forms full circle on disk Sector stores up to 512 bytes of data Click to view Web Link, then click Floppy Disks below Chapter 7 Formatting prepares disk for use and marks bad sectors as unusable p Fig. 7-8 Next
13 Floppy Disks How do you compute a disk s storage capacity? Multiply number of sides, number of tracks, number of sectors per track, and number of bytes per sector For high-density disk: 2 sides 80 tracks 18 sectors per track 512 bytes per sector = 1,474,560 bytes Characteristics of a 3.5-inch High-Density Floppy Disk Capacity: 1.44 MB Sides: 2 Tracks: 80 Sectors per track: 18 Sectors per disk: 2880 p Next WHAT IS STORAGE? Characteristics of a Floppy Disk Uses magnetic patterns to store data Formatting Track Sector Write-protection Guidelines for floppy disk care Floppy disk drive
14 Floppy Disks What is a write-protect notch? Small opening with a cover that you slide Protects floppy disk from being erased accidentally notch open means you cannot write on the disk write-protected not write-protected notch closed means you can write on the disk hole on this side means disk is high density p Fig Next Zip Disks What is a Zip disk? Magnetic medium that stores 100 MB or 250 MB of data or 750 MB Used to back up and to transfer files Backup is duplicate of file, program, or disk in case original is lost c Zip disks require a Zip drivec chigh capacity drive that reads from and writes on a Zip disk REV disks (35GB) are similar.

Hard Disks Provide large storage capacity and high speed data access Sizes range from 30 GB to 100 GB Consists of several inflexible, circular disks, called platters Magnetic storage device Formatting
16 Hard Disks How does a hard disk work? Step 2. Small motor spins platters while computer is running. Step 1. Circuit board controls movement of head actuator and a small motor. Step 3. When software requests a disk access, read/write heads determine current or new location of data. Step 4. Head actuator positions read/write head arms over correct location on platters to read or write data. p Fig Next Hard Disks What is a cylinder? Vertical section of track through all platters Single movement of read/write head arms accesses all platters in cylinder platter track sector read/write head platter sides cylinder p Fig Next
17 Hard Disk Partitions and Logical Drives When installing an operating system on a new computer or after recovering from a hard disk failure, prepare the hard disk for use by: Partitioning the hard disk Creating logical drives Formatting logical drives A maximum of 4 primary partitions can be placed on a hard disk, but only 1 extended partition The way the Master Boot Record is structured determines this limitation. Disk Partitioning Partition disks to divide total storage space Primary partition the system s boot drive, used for system startup Extended partition the remaining drive space after you create the primary partition
18 Logical Disk Drives A disk partition must be assigned a logical drive identifier A primary partition is treated as a single logical drive An extended partition can be divided into multiple logical drives (drives D and E in figure) Logical Drive Format Low-level format: Prepares the hard disk before disk partitions can be defined Primarily the responsibility of the hard disk manufacturer High-level format: Logical drive formatting that prepares the drive for use by the operating system Creates the file system root directory and the files used to track disk space use
