Learning ObjectivesTo discuss various Auxiliary Storage DevicesTo know about Magnetic Tape, Winchester Disk, Floppy Disk, etc.To understand other storage devices like CD-ROM, CD-R Drive, etc.The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseITT Course - Unit I --> Chapter 1 - Computer Concepts2An IntroductionPrimary StorageSecondary StoragePrimary storage is directly accessible to the CPU.The data in the secondary storage is accessed by the CPU through intermediary devices like the processor cache. It offers a very fast access rate. It offers slow access rate.It is highly volatile in nature It is non volatile in nature

It is an expensive memoryIt is not an expensive memoryIt is used to store small amount of data.It is used to store large amount of data.Primary Storage consists of RAM, Processor Register and Processor Cache.Secondary Storage consists of Hard Disk, Floppy Disk, CD, DVD, Flash Drives, etc.The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT Course

Auxiliary Storage Device The main memory construction is costly. Therefore, it has to be limited in size. The main memory is used to store only those instructions and data which are to be used immediately. However, a computer has to store a large amount of information. The bulk of information is stored in the auxiliary memory. Auxiliary memory is also called backing storage or secondary storage. Auxiliary memory includes hard disk, floppy disks, CD-ROM, USB flash drives, etc.

Hard DiskCompact DiskFlash DriveDigital Video DiskFloppy DiskMagnetic TapeThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseMethods for Secondary StorageAny method for secondary storage must involve two physical parts which is as follows:-

A peripheral device (the component of the computer which 'reads' in or 'writes' out the information to/from the system unit,) and An input/output medium, on which the information is actually stored.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseSecondary Storage Access The act of retrieving pieces of stored information is called access. Access time is the average time taken from the device to search and read the required data on the storage medium. Shorter access time means higher searching speed.The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseSequential AccessIn sequential access, the items are traversed one by one from the beginning of the sequence to the desired one.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseRandom AccessIn random access, also call direct access, any item can be accessed relatively independently of its location in the sequence.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseData Transfer Rate Data transfer rate is the amount of data that can be transferred between the main memory and a storage device per second. The unit of data transfer rate is bps (bits per second). Higher data transfer rate means faster reading / writing process.

Secondary Storage MediumFollowing are the mediums used as secondary storage devices:-

Magnetic TapesMagneto-Optical DiskMagnetic DiskOptical DiskThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseMagnetic Tapes Magnetic tape is the most popular and oldest storage medium used to store large amount of data and instructions permanently. The magnetic tape is a plastic ribbon with width 0.25 inch to 1 inch and one side coated with magnetic recording material (ferrous-oxide or iron-oxide), which can be magnetized. Data is stored on the tape in the form of magnetic field, i.e. magnetized and non-magnetized spots representing ls and 0s respectively. Tape remains a viable alternative to disk in some situations due to its lower cost per bit.

Magnetic tape was first used to record computer data in 1951 on the Mauchly - EckertUNIVAC I. The recording medium was a 1/2 inch wide thin band ofnickel-plated bronze. Recording density was 128 characters per inch on eight tracks at a linear speed of 100 ips, yielding a data rate of12,800 characters per second. Making allowance for the empty space between tape blocks, the actual transfer rate was around 7,200 characters per second.UNIVAC I - Tape Units, 1951The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseMagnetic Disk A memory device, such as a floppy disk, a hard disk, or a removable cartridge, that is covered with a magnetic coating on which digital information is stored in the form of microscopically small, magnetized needles. A storage device, consisting of magnetically coated disks, on the surfaces of which information is stored in the form of magnetic spots arranged in a manner to represent binary data.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseTracks and SectorsTracks and SpotsThe disk surface is divided into concentric tracks (circles within circles). The thinner the tracks, the more storage. The data bits are recorded as tiny magnetic spots on the tracks. The smaller the spot, the more bits per inch and the greater the storage.

SectorsTracks are further divided into sectors, which hold a block of data that is read or written at one time

Tracks and SectorsTracks are concentric circles on the disk, broken up into storage units called "sectors." The sector, which is typically 512 bytes, is the smallest unit that can be read or written.The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseMagnetic Disk SummaryTechnology Still in use:- Fixed Hard Disk Floppy Disk Zip Removable Disk REV Removable DiskDiscontinued Technology:- PocketZip Removable Disk Jaz Removable Disk ORB Removable Disk LS-120 Removable Disk HiFD Removable Disk SyQuest Removable Disk SyJet Removable Disk SparQ Removable Disk EZFlyer Removable Disk Quest Removable Disk Bernoulli Removable DiskThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseFloppy Disk A floppy disk is a data storage medium that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible ("floppy") magnetic storage medium encased in a square or rectangular plastic shell. Floppy disks are read and written by a FDD (Floppy Disk Drive).

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseFloppy Drive (Anatomy)

Drive Motor: A very small spindle motor engages the metal hub at the center of the diskette, spinning it at either 300 or 360 rotations per minute (RPM).

Stepper Motor: This motor makes a precise number of stepped revolutions to move the read/write head assembly to the proper track position. The read/write head assembly is fastened to the stepper motor shaft.

Mechanical Frame: A system of levers that opens the little protective window on the diskette to allow the read/write heads to touch the dual-sided diskette media. An external button allows the diskette to be ejected, at which point the spring-loaded protective window on the diskette closes. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseFloppy Drive (Anatomy)

Read/Write Heads: Located on both sides of a diskette, they move together on the same assembly. The heads are not directly opposite each other in an effort to prevent interaction between write operations on each of the two media surfaces. The same head is used for reading and writing, while a second, wider head is used for erasing a track just prior to it being written. This allows the data to be written on a wider "clean slate," without interfering with the analog data on an adjacent track.

Circuit Board: Contains all of the electronics to handle the data read from or written to the diskette. It also controls the stepper-motor control circuits used to move the read/write heads to each track, as well as the movement of the read/write heads toward the diskette surface. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseHard Disk Drive A hard disk drive is a non-volatile storage device that stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. A typical desktop machine will have a hard disk with a capacity of between 10 and 40 gigabytes.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseTypes of Hard Disk DriveThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseInternal Hard Disk DriveThe internal hard disk drives are used for the storage of the data in the computer case. There are not portable and usually are inside the case.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseExternal Hard Disk DriveThe external hard disk drives are portable can be connected to other computer systems as well. There is a hard casing over the hard disk.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseMeasuring Performance of Hard Disk DriveThere are two ways to measure the performance of a hard disk:

Data rate: The data rate is the number of bytes per second that the drive can deliver to the CPU. Rates between 5 and 40 megabytes per second are common.

Seek time: The seek time is the amount of time between when the CPU requests a file and when the first byte of the file is sent to the CPU. Times between 10 and 20 milliseconds are common.

The other important parameter is the capacity of the drive, which is the number of bytes it can hold. The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseHard Disk Drive Components

First Hard Disk Drive

In September 1956 IBM launched the 305 RAMAC, the first computer with a hard disk drive (HDD). The HDD weighed over a ton and stored 5 MB of data.1956: IBM 305 RAMAC Computer with Disk DriveThe Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseZip Disk and Drive Zip disks are high capacity, removable, magnetic disks, which can be read or written by ZIP drives. The Zip drive is a medium-capacity removable disk storage system. It was introduced in late 1994. ZIP disks are similar to floppy disks, except that they are much faster, and have a much greater capacity. ZIP disks are available in size of 100 MB, 250 MB, 750 MB. ZIP drives are available as internal or external units using SCSI, IDE, Parallel Port interfaces. The rewritable CDs and rewritable DVDs replaced the Zip drive for mass storage.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseUSB Drive A small, portable flash memory card that plugs into a computers USB port and functions as a portable hard drive. A USB flash drive consists of flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface. A flash drive consists of a small printed circuit board carrying the circuit elements and a USB connector, insulated electrically and protected inside a plastic, metal, or rubberized case which can be carried in a pocket or on a key chain. USB flash drives are often used for the same purposes as floppy disks. USB flash drives have less storage capacity than an external hard drive. They are smaller, faster, have thousands of times more capacity, and are more durable and reliable. USB flash drives also are called thumb drives, jump drives, pen drives, key drives, tokens, or simply USB drives.

It was introduced in 1982. These devices use laser technology to store and read data to and from the disk. An optical storage media consists of a flat, round, portable metal disc, which is coated with a thin metal or plastic or other material that is highly reflective.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT Course1st Generation Optical DiskInitially, optical discs were used to store music and computer software. The laser disc format stored analog video signals.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CoursePits and Lands The information on the optical disk is stored in the form of pits and lands. The pits are the tiny reflective bumps that are created with laser beam. The lands are flat areas separating the pits. A land reflects the laser light, which is read as binary digit 1. A pit absorbs or scatters light, which is read as binary digit 0. The high-powered laser beam creates the pits. A lower-powered laser light reads data from the disc. Like tracks on a magnetic disk, the tracks of an optical disk are divided into sectors but shape of these sectors is different than sectors of magnetic disk.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseCD-ROM CD-ROM stands for Compact Disc Read-Only-Memory. It was introduced in 1984. CD-ROM is a type of optical disc that uses laser technology to store and to read data to and from the disc. A large amount of data can be stored on a single disk. Once the information is stored on the CD-ROM, it becomes permanent and cannot be changed (altered). The information can only be read for processing. The CD-ROM is removable and can be used to transfer data from one computer to another like a floppy disk. A typical CD-ROM has storage capacity from 650 MD to 1GB.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT Course

The CD-ROM drive is used with computer to read the information from the CD-ROM.

Today, CD-ROM drives have transfer rates (or speeds) ranging from 48X to 75X or more. CD-ROM Drive

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseCD-R CD-R stands for Compact Disc Recordable which is a blank disk that is used to store information. It was introduced in 1988. The user can also write data on an optical disc. The process of writing data on the optical disc is called burning. A locally developed CD-R can be used in any CD-ROM drive. It must be noted that once data is written on the CD-R. It cannot be changed. However, a user can store data on other part of the disk until it is full. Each part of a CD-R can be written only one time and can be read as many times. The CD-writer is used to write data on CD-R. The main disadvantage of CD-R is that information can be written only once. These cannot be overwritten and erased.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseCD-Writer A CD-writer or recorder is used to write data on CD-R disks. Usually, a CD-writer can read information from CD as well as write information on CD. Today, most of the PCs have CD writer. The speed of these drives is up to 48X or more. These drives are more expensive than ordinary CD-ROM.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseCD-RW CD-RW stands for compact Disc Rewritable. It was introduced in 1996. The CD-RW is a new generation of optical disk. It is erasable disc. The user can write and over-write data on the CD-RW disc many times. The CD-RW acts like a floppy and hard disk that allow users to write and re-write data. However, the reliability of the disc tends to decrease, each time you rewrite data.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD DVD stands for Digital Video Disk. The DVD was developed in 1995. It was a natural upgrade to the CD. The DVD capacity is 4.7 GBs for single layer DVDs, and 8.5 GBs for dual layer DVDs. DVDs resemble Compact Discs in that they have the exact appearance.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD-ROM / DVD-R Drive DVD stands, for Digital Video Disc or Digital Versatile Disc. DVD-ROM is an extremely high capacity optical disc with storage capacity from 4.7 GB to 17 GB. DVD disc is specially used to store movie films, huge databases, music, complex software etc. The DVD-ROM drive is used to read data from DVDs and CDs. Some DVD-ROMs are double sided and data is stored on both sides of the disc.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD-RW A DVD-RW disc is a rewritable optical disc with equal storage capacity to a DVD-R, typically 4.7 GB. The primary advantage of DVD- RW over DVD-R is the ability to erase and rewrite to a DVD-RW disc. According to Pioneer, DVD-RW discs may be written to about 1,000 times before needing replacement, making them comparable with the CD-RW standard. DVD-RW discs are commonly used for volatile data, such as backups or collections of files.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD Writer DVD Writer is a device which is used to read and display as well as writer contents from / to DVD and CDs.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD-RAM DVD-RAM (DVDRandom Access Memory) is a disc specification presented in 1996 by the DVD Forum, which specifies rewritable DVD-RAM media and the appropriate DVD writers.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD+RW DVD+RW is the name of a standard for optical discs: one of several types of DVD, which hold up to about 4.7 GB per disc It is used for storing films, music or other data. DVD+RW supports random write access, which means that data can be added and removed without erasing the whole disc and starting over (up to about 1000 times). However, they (and DVD-RW) are less popular for computer use than DVD-R or DVD+R discs, because they are not suitable for permanent backup files, and because non-rewritable media is significantly cheaper.A 12 cm Sony DVD+RW shown in comparison in size to a 7.5 inches (19 cm) pencil.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD+R The DVD+R format was developed in mid 2002. DVD+R discs have 4.7 GB or 4.377 GiB (DVD-R has 4.382 GiB) of storage capacity. Unlike DVD+RW discs, DVD+R discs can only be written to once. Because of this, DVD+R discs are suited to applications such as nonvolatile data storage, audio, or video.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD+R DL DVD+R DL (DL stands for Double Layer) is a derivative of the DVD+R format created by the DVD+RW Alliance. Its use was first demonstrated in October 2003. DVD+R DL discs employ two recordable dye layers, each capable of storing nearly the 4.7 GB capacity of a single-layer disc, almost doubling the total disc capacity to 8.55 GB (or 7.96 GiB). Discs can be read in many DVD devices and can only be created using DVD+R DL and Super Multi drives.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseDVD-R DL DVD-R DL (DL stands for Dual Layer[1]), also called DVD-R9, is a derivative of the DVD-R format standard. DVD-R DL discs hold 8.54 GB (7.96 GiB) per side by utilizing two recordable dye layers, each capable of storing nearly the 4.7 GB (4.38 GiB) of a single layer disc - almost doubling the total disc capacity. Discs can be read in many DVD devices and can only be written using DVD-R DL compatible recorders.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseHD DVD The HD DVD is a high density DVD which started in 2004. The HD DVD is the successor of the DVD. It has a capacity of 15 GBs for a single layer disk and 30GBs for a dual layer disk.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseBlu-Ray Disc Blue-Ray disc came around in 2004. Employs a blue laser ray instead of a red one (hence the name) which allows more precision. It has a capacity of 25 GBs for a single layer disk and 50GBs for a dual layer disk. The home video game console system PlayStation 3 (Sony) is shipped with a 2x Blu-ray Disc drive.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseHolographic Versatile Disc The Holographic Versatile Disc (HVD) is an optical disc technology still in the research stage which would hold up to 3.9 terabytes (TB) of information which is equivalent to around 850 DVDs. It was introduced in 2004.

The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India(Setup by an Act of Parliament)Board of Studies100 Hours ITT CourseMagneto Optical Disc A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon a magneto-optical disc. Both 130 mm (5.25 in) and 90 mm (3.5 in) form factors exist. The technology was introduced at the end of the 1980s.
