I. INTRODUCTORY CONCEPT

This section discusses Multimedia storage devices is usually made to fit the type of media
being stored, sometimes reducing the overall area needed to hold a large number of items.
Certain designs, such as rotating shelves, can preserve organization and accessibility while hiding
the majority of items out of sight. Physical multimedia items are usually of a regular size, so many
of these storage solutions include slots in which individual pieces may fit. Others are designed to
fit the maximum number of different types of media possible by being adjustable.

III. ACTIVITIES

A. LESSON INFORMATION

MULTIMEDIA STORAGE DEVICES

The storage devices are one of the most important components of the
computer system. They are the data storage devices that are used to store
the data. The computer has many types of data storage devices. Some of
them can be classified as the Internal Storage Devices and External Storage
Devices.

INTERNAL STORAGE DEVICES

Internal storage device/s are devices that are installed or prebuilt in a
computer system. These devices vary in types and storage capacities. The
following are examples of Internal Storage Devices.

1. Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

This is the computer's main storage device used to store all data on the
computer permanently using magnetic storage disk.
There are two types of HDD according to its connector:
a. SATA (Serial ATA)
b. EIDE (Enhanced Integrated Drive Electronics)

Advantages of Hard Disk Drives:

a. Capable of holding vast amounts of data at affordable prices
TLE-CSS_Grade9_Q1_LAS10
 b. Fast read and write speeds
c. Reliable technology
d. Relatively small in size

Disadvantages of Hard Disk Drives:

a. Due to the nature of its moving parts, they will
eventually wear and break
b. Although very fast, waiting for the moving parts means
it will never perform as fast as solid state drives
c. More fragile and less robust than a solid state drive
d. Higher power consumption than a SSD
e. Some noise is created by the moving parts

2. Hybrid Hard Drive (HHD)

✓ HHD or Hybrid Hard Drive is a combination of Hard Disk Drive and
Solid State Drive technology.
✓ They’re bigger than Solid State Drive (SSD) and faster than a plain-old
mechanical drive.

3. Solid State Drive (SSD)

✓ Non-volatile storage devices capable of holding large amounts of data.
✓ Perform faster than traditional hard disk drives, however they are significantly more
expensive.

Advantages of solid state drives:

a. Extremely fast read/write speeds
b. Small in physical size and very light, ideal for portable
devices
c. No moving parts to wear, fail or get damaged – ideal
for making portable computers and devices more
reliable and durable
d. Uses less power than a HDD, increasing battery life
time
e. Very quiet
f. Generates less heat

Disadvantages of Solid State Drive:

a. Expensive
b. Limited in capacity due to the expense

EXTERNAL STORAGE DEVICES

External storage devices, also referred to as auxiliary storage and secondary storage, are devices
that contain all the addressable data storage that is not inside a computer's main storage or
memory. Basically, external storage devices are removable & portable. The following are
examples of External Storage Devices.

1. External Hard Drive

Also known as a portable hard drive, is a device that is
connected outside of a computer system.
Portable storage device that usually uses ATA, USB
technology or E-SATA technology.

TLE-CSS_Grade9_Q1_LAS10
2. USB Flash Drive
Also known as data stick, pen drive, keychain drive and thumb drive.
It is a data storage device that includes flash memory with an integrated USB interface and
typically removable, rewritable and much smaller than an optical disc.

Advantages of USB Flash Drive:

a. Portable - small and lightweight
b. Durability - flash has no moving parts to damage
c. Range of capacities available
d. Fast speeds, with no moving parts of boot up time

Disadvantages of USB Flash Drive:

a. Limited number of write cycles possible
b. Limited storage capacities
c. Expensive storage option compared to a HDD

3. Compact Disk (CD)

It is a flat, round storage device that can be read by a laser in an Optical Disc Drive and capable
of storing data up to 700 MB.
Applicable for Audio, Video and small amounts of data

Types of Compact Disc:

a. CD-ROM (Read Only) - the data is permanently written to the disc at the
point of manufacture.
b. CD-R (Recordable) - blank discs that can be burnt (written to) once.
c. CD-RW (Re-writable)- - blank discs that can be burnt (written to) over and
over again (can be erased and reused many times).

4. Digital Versatile Disc

A disc capable of storing large amounts of data up to 4.7 GB compared to compact disc.
Data can be stored and retrieved using Optical Disc Drive
Applicable for standard definition movies and data

Types of Digital Versatile Disc:

a. DVD-ROM (Read Only) - the data is permanently written to the disc at
the point of manufacture.
b. DVD-R (Recordable)- blank discs that can be burnt (written to) once.
c. DVD-RW (Re-writable)- blank discs that can be burnt (written to) over
and over again (can be erased and reused many times).

5. Blu Ray Disc

An optical disc capable of storing data from 25 GB up to 128 GB
The name "Blu-ray" refers to the blue laser (which is actually a violet laser) used to write and
read the disc
Applicable for HD videos and large amounts of data

Types of Blu Ray Disc:

a. Blu-Ray-ROM (Read Only) - the data is permanently written to
the disc at the point of manufacture.
b. BD-R (Recordable)- blank discs that can be burnt (written to)
once.
c. BD-RE (Re-writable) - blank discs that can be burnt (written to)
over and over again (can be erased and reused many times).
