3/20/2014 Access Methods of Secondary Storage Devices Secondary Storage Device is storage medium which is used to store large amount of data permanently until it is changed by user. Though it stores information‚ it cannot be accessed directly by the CPU. The data stored in Secondary Storage Device can be accessed depending upon how it is stored on the device. Mainly there are two methods of accessing data from the Secondary Storage Device. 1) Sequential Access Method 2) Direct Access Method

Computer Storage Devices Storage devices are used in order to store various items such as programs‚ data and instructions. Storage was used as early as 1804 by hole punching paper cards in order to control machinery. Without storage‚ the computer programs and files that exist now would not be possible. There are many different devices used for storage today such as hard drives‚ floppy drives and CD-Rom drives. Hard drives come in all computers and are the main storage device. An average hard drive

Optical Storage Devices • An optical disk is a high-capacity storage medium. An optical drive uses reflected light to read data. • To store data‚ the disk’s metal surface is covered with tiny dents (pits) and flat spots (lands)‚ which cause light to be reflected differently. • When an optical drive shines light into a pit‚ the light cannot be reflected back. This represents a bit value of 0 (off). A land reflects light back to its source‚ Representing a bit value of 1 (on)

Storage Functions of secondary storage Secondary storage also called auxiliary storage or backing storage is used to store data and instructions when they are not being processed. Secondary storage is much cheaper than primary storage and is also used to back up for later use. Storage media Storage media are the physical hardware on which a computer keeps data‚ instructions and information. E.g. a CD‚ a DVD‚ a floppy disk‚ hard disk. Storage device Storage devices record and retrieve

Seven steps to troubleshooting hard drives Here’s a quick and proven hard disk troubleshooting process. With each point‚ ask yourself the question(s) that follow. Physical connectivity – Is the drive receiving power? Is it plugged into the PC by a correctly connected ribbon cable? For IDE drives‚ are its jumpers set correctly? Or with SCSI drives‚ are its SCSI termination and ID set correctly? BIOS setup – Does the BIOS see the drive? Viruses – Does the drive contain any boot sector viruses

Secondary Storage Devices COMPUTER Compiled by Belieber9N Class - IX PROJECT Secondary Storage Devices As we all know that the main memory stores the data in a temporary manner which means all the data will be lost when the power goes off. To keep our data safe we use secondary storage devices. These are used for storing the data in a permanent manner so that all the data will remain stored whether the power is switched on or switched off‚ the power will never

different ways to input the information and it can be done in an automatic fashion‚ as with a computer‚ or it can be done manually‚ as with a human writing the information down. For instance‚ printed questionnaires would best use a special scanning device called an optical data reader that uses optical mark recognition (OMR); when people complete the OMR form using pencils to fill in boxes on OMR paper an optical mark reader (OMR) can convert the pencil marks into digital data.
