    Group 3 presented on storage devices. They discussed how storage devices can store data temporarily or permanently, internally or externally. The history of storage devices progressed from primitive punch cards to modern digital media like floppy disks and compact discs. Storage devices are either primary, like RAM which stores data temporarily and has fast access, or secondary, like hard disks which have larger capacity and store data permanently. Examples of storage devices include hard disks, solid state drives, flash drives, floppy disks, magnetic tape, compact discs, and RAM.

    GOOD DAY
    EVERYONE!
    WE ARE GROUP 3
    This presentation focused on the introduction,
    history, and types of Storage Device

    STORAGE DEVICE
    A storage device is any type of computing

    hardware that is used for storing, porting or

    extracting data files and objects. Storage devices


    can hold and store information both temporarily

    and permanently. They may be internal or

    external to a computer, server or computing


    device.

    HISTORY OF STORAGE DEVICE


    Early storage devices were primitive mechanical systems
    based on items like punch cards and later, magnetic tape.
    They presented binary through physical media.

    These became largely obsolete when other digital media


    was created. First, there were floppy disks and diskettes,
    then there were compact discs that could hold large
    amounts of binary in digital formats.

    TWO TYPES OF STORAGE DEVICE


    PRIMARY STORAGE DEVICE
    • Generally smaller in size, primary storage devices are designed to
    hold data temporarily and are internal to the computer. They have
    the fastest data access speed. These types of devices include RAM
    and cache memory.

    SECONDARY STORAGE DEVICE


    • Secondary storage devices usually have larger storage capacity, and they
    store data permanently. They can be either internal or external to the
    computer. These types of devices include the hard disk, the optical disk
    drive and USB storage device.

    EXAMPLES OF STORAGE DEVICES


    HARD DISK DRIVE (HHD)
    • Is a non-volatile data storage device.
    • Non-volatile refers to storage devices that maintain stored data when
    turned off.

    SOLID STATE DRIVE (SSD)


    • Is a new generation of storage device used in computers.
    • SSDs store data using flash-based memory, which is much faster
    than the traditional hard disks they've come to replace.

    EXAMPLES OF STORAGE DEVICES


    FLASH DRIVE
    • A data storage device that uses flash memory specifically
    • A small rectangular device that is designed to be plugged directly
    into a USB port on a computer and is often used for transferring files
    from one computer to another.

    EXAMPLES OF STORAGE DEVICES


    FLOPPY DISK
    • Is an obsolete type of disk storage composed of a thin and flexible
    disk of a magnetic storage medium in a square or nearly square
    plastic enclosure lined with a fabric that removes dust particles from
    the spinning disk.
    • Floppy disks store digital data which can be read and written when
    the disk is inserted into a floppy disk drive (FDD) connected to or
    inside a computer or other device.

    EXAMPLES OF STORAGE DEVICES


    MAGNETIC TAPE
    • A type of physical storage media for different kinds of data.
    • Magnetic tape has been a major vehicle for audio and binary data
    storage for several decades.

    COMPACT DISC
    • A portable storage medium that can be used to record, store and play
    back audio, video and other data in digital form.

    EXAMPLES OF STORAGE DEVICES


    RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)
    • a computer's short-term memory, where the data that the processor is
    currently using is stored.
    • Your computer can access RAM memory much faster than data on a
    hard disk, SSD, or other long-term storage device, which is why
    RAM capacity is critical
    • for system performance.
