INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS
 A computer is an electronic device, operating under
the control of instructions stored in its own memory
that can accept data (input), process the data
according to specified rules, produce information
(output), and store the information for future use1.
Any kind of computers consists of HARDWARE AND
SOFTWARE.
• A computer is a machine that can
store and process information.
Most computers rely on a binary
system that uses two variables, 0
and 1, to complete tasks such as
storing data, calculating
algorithms, and displaying
information.
 What is a Computer Data Storage Device?

 Computers use a variety of data storage devices that

are classified in two ways: one is whether they retain
the data if there is no electricity and the other is how
close they are to the processor (CPU). Both types of
storage are needed in all computers. In a personal
computer, memory does not retain data when the
electricity is off, but while it is on, it enables quick
access to open files. A storage drive, however, allows
you to permanently store data, so it's available each
time you turn on the computer.
 TYPES OF STORAGE DEVICES

1. External HDDs and

SSDs. ...
2. Flash memory devices. ...
3. Optical Storage Devices. ...
4. Floppy Disks. ...
5. Primary Storage: Random
Access Memory (RAM) ...
6. Secondary Storage: Hard
Disk Drives (HDD) & Solid-
State Drives (SSD) ...
7. Hard Disk Drives (HDD) ...
8. Solid-State Drives (SSD)
 HARD DISK- A hard disk drive (HDD), hard disk, hard drive, or
fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device that
stores and retrieves digital data using magnetic storage and
one or more rigid rapidly rotating platters coated with
magnetic material.
 RAM- RAM is short for “random access memory” and while it
might sound mysterious, RAM is one of the most fundamental
elements of computing. RAM is the super-fast and temporary data
storage space that a computer needs to access right now or in the
next few moments.
 ROM- ROM is an acronym for Read-Only Memory. It refers to
computer memory chips containing permanent or semi-permanent
data. Unlike RAM, ROM is non-volatile; even after you turn off
your computer, the contents of ROM will remain. Almost every
computer comes with a small amount of ROM containing the boot
firmware.
 CD/DVD- An optical disc drive (ODD) in a computer system allows
you to use CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs to listen to music or watch
a movie. Most drives also allow you to write data to a disc, so you
can create your own music CDs, video DVDs or even create of
back-up copy of your important data files.
 FLOPPY- A floppy disk drive, also called FDD or FD for
short, is a computer disk drive that enables a user to
save data to removable diskettes. ... A 5 1/4" floppy
disk was capable of storing between 360 KB and 1.2 MB of
data, and the 3 1/2" floppy disk was capable of storing
between 360 KB and 1.44 MB of data.
 MEMORY CARD- A memory card or memory cartridge
is an electronic data storage device used for storing
digital information, typically using flash memory.
 PEN DRIVE- A memory card or memory cartridge is an
electronic data storage device used for storing digital
information, typically using flash memory.
 TAPE- A tape drive is a data storage device that reads
and writes data on a magnetic tape. Magnetic tape data
storage is typically used for offline, archival data storage.
Tape media generally has a favorable unit cost and a long
archival stability
1. MICRO COMPUTER-
A microcomputer is a small, relatively
inexpensive computer with a microprocessor as
its central processing unit. It includes a
microprocessor, memory and minimal
input/output circuitry mounted on a single
printed circuit board.
2. MINI COMPUTER -A minicomputer, or
colloquially mini, is a class of smaller general
purpose computers that developed in the mid-
1960s and sold for much less than mainframe
and mid-size computers from IBM and its direct
competitors.
3. PERSONAL COMPUTER - A personal
computer is a multi-purpose computer whose
size, capabilities, and price make it feasible for
individual use. Personal computers are intended
to be operated directly by an end user, rather
than by a computer expert or technician. 
4. LAPTOP -Laptops combine all
the input/output components and capabilities of
a desktop computer, including the display
screen, small speakers, a keyboard, data
storage device, sometimes an optical disc drive,
pointing devices (such as a touchpad or pointing
stick).
5. SUPER COMPUTERS -Supercomputer, any of
a class of extremely powerful computers. The
term is commonly applied to the fastest high-
performance systems available at any given
time. Such computers have been used primarily
for scientific and engineering work requiring
exceedingly high-speed computations.
6. TAB -Tablet computer, computer that
is intermediate in size between a laptop
computer and a smartphone. Early tablet
computers used either a keyboard or a
stylus to input information, but these
methods were subsequently displaced by
touch screens.
