STORAGE MEDIUM
04 It is the physical material on which
a computer keeps data,
instructions, and information.
CAPACITY
❑ It is the number of bytes (characters) a storage medium can hold.

to a storage medium. a storage medium
MAGNETIC DISK

❑ uses magnetic particles to store


01 items such as data, instructions,
and information on a disk’s
02 surface
❑ two types: hard disk and floppy
03
disks
04
MAGNETIC DISK
SECTORS
pie-shaped sections, which TRACK
01 break the tracks into small arcs is a narrow recording band that
forms a full circle on the surface
02 of the disk

04
HARD DISK
❑ a storage device that contains one
or more inflexible, circular platters
01
that store data, instructions, and
02 information

03

04
HARD DISK
LONGITUDINAL RECORDING
which aligned the magnetic particles
01 horizontally around the surface of the disk

02

03
PERPENDICULAR RECORDING
04 hard disks align the magnetic particles
vertically, or perpendicular to the disk’s
surface, making much greater storage
capacities possible
CHARACTERISTICS OF A HARD DISK
❑ include capacity, platters, read/write heads, cylinders, sectors and
tracks, revolutions per minute, transfer rate, and access time
01
● Capacity – is determined from the number of platters it contains,
02 together with composition of the magnetic coating on the platters

03 ● Platters - made of aluminum, glass, or ceramic and is coated with an


alloy material that allows items to be recorded magnetically on its
04 surface
● Cylinders - the vertical section of a track that passes through all
platters
CHARACTERISTICS OF A HARD DISK
● Head crash - occurs when a
read/write head touches the
01 surface of a platter, usually
resulting in a loss of data or
02
sometimes loss of the entire
03 drive.
● Backup - a duplicate of a file,
04 program, or disk placed on a
separate storage medium that
you can use in case the original
is lost, damaged, or destroyed.

ADVANTAGES
❑ Transport a large number of files.
❑ Back up important files or an entire internal hard disk
01 ❑ Easily store large audio and video files
❑ Secure your data; for example, at the end of a work session, remove the
02
hard disk and lock it up, leaving no data in the computer
03 ❑ Add storage space to a notebook computer or Tablet PC
❑ Add storage space to a desktop computer without having to open the
04 system unit
❑ Share a drive with multiple computers
HARD DISK CONTROLLERS

❑ Disk controller - consists of a special-purpose chip and electronic


01 circuits that control the transfer of data, instructions, and information
from a disk to and from the system bus and other components in the
02 computer.
