Storage Devices Storage devices are used to record or retrieve data in technological devices. A device that only records information is called a recording medium; it does not allow for processing of the information. They allow for ease of access for the user to retrieve any data from the device that had been previously stored. They help run programs, view page content, and even allow for interaction on some web pages. There are two types of storage in computers; a primary storage, like RAM, or Random
Flash Drives and Optical Storage What is a flash Drive? Well a USB Flash drive is a memory storage device that is plugged into a computer or other mobile devices. Flash Drive also called Thumb drives are very convenient for users, they are small and light weight and have a memory storage ranging from 512MB to 64Mb. (Gary B. Shelly).Most flash drives are removable and rewriteable. USB Flash drives are typically used for backups or transfers of computer files. Flash drives consist of small printed
Flash Drives and Optical Storage In Computing, optical disc drives are described by Wikipedia as a disk drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs. Some optical disc drives can only read from discs, but recent drives are able to both read and record, also called burners or writers. These drives are very commonly used in computers to read software and consumer media distributed
Flash Drives and Optical Storage Flash drives and Optical Storage are quick and easy ways to transfer data, and with all the technology that has been introduced over the years, these have many uses. There compact, portable, and very useful in many situations. To help understand these two topics more in depth, I will be explaining what they are, how they are used, and many other details. First, I will be explaining flash drives. Flash drives are a data storage device that includes flash memory with
created in the late 1980’s and early 1990’s. It is a storage device that incorporates solid-state memory and emulates a hard disk drive to store data. Solid state drives use interfaces such as USB and PCI express. It is very light, quiet and uses very little power to function, thus making it a very important piece in a modern day computer. As time goes by, there are more and more solid state drives that are found in laptops and even mobile devices as they are relativity smaller than hard disk drives
honeypot pretends to be vulnerable but is infact deployed in a highly controlled environment. It is therefore a false target to the attacker. All the traffic to the honeypot is suspicious because no productive systems are located on this resource. The data collected by the honeypot is therefore very interesting. A honeypot comprises of a computer and network site that appears to be a part of the network of the organization but it is physically isolated and continuously monitored, and which seems to contain

This section will discuss “record safety, protective measures, conversion and backup; protection against computer viruses; record security; policies and checks; security measures; data protection; security for faxed documents; and e-mail retention policies.”(350-360) The last
Storage Devices A storage device is the system where your computer stores and retrieves your data. Storage devices can be a hard disk drive, DVD, CD drives, Blu-Ray drives or flash drives. A computer can retrieve the data by being “commanded” to retrieve it from the storage area and retrieve it to your RAM. The RAM of the computer is your temporary memory where your data is inputted, and then processed and stored onto a storage device for permanent placement. There are several different storage
Backing up your data is essential in securing your files from being lost or destroyed. It can also be a great way to install your pictures and videos onto another computer. Luckily, now a days, purchasing a storage device is easier than ever. They are available online, as well as through many major retailers. The price is usually reasonable and is determined by the amount of data that you need to store. The Benefits of a Data Backup Device - Losing your memories and files can be heart wrenching
evidence analysis is the scientific collection of data that is either retrieved or held by a computer storage device that can be used against a criminal in a court of law. For the information to be used in court it should be collected before it is presentation; therefore, there are a number of recommendations proposed to make sure that information collected meets the intended integrity. Information collected digitally from computers or media storage applications has protocols that need be followed
Introduction: In computers terminology, any device which is used to store data and different applications is called memory. Memory is one of the essential parts of computers or any electronic device. It enable device to save the data and the instructions which the CPU Central Processing unit require. The term memory is usually used to describe fast and temporary form of storage. Particularly memory is identified by its capacity. CPU will take long time to retrieve data without memory, therefore, the memory
acquire and transmit data. Additionally, they license their MRAM technology to various companies including Avago Technologies, Honeywell, Cypress Semiconductor Company, and until 2006, Motorola. As of fiscal year 2008, product sales accounted for 85% of revenue and research and development contracts accounted for 15%. They currently have 50 employees and generate sales in over 75 countries. The electronics industry relies heavily on devices that acquire, store and transmit data. NVE Corp’s spintronics
Data Center is a large group of networked computer servers usually used by institution for the remote storage, processing, or distribution of large amounts of data. A data center physically establishes various equipment. For example: computers, servers, switches, routers, data storage devices, load balancers, wire cages or closets, vaults, racks, and associated equipment. It stores, manages, processes, and exchanged digital data and information of a company. Also, distribute application services
impact of various network systems. LOCAL AREA NETWORK (LAN) A local area network (LAN) is a group of computers and associated devices that share a common communications line and typically share the resources of a single processor or server within a small geographic area (for example, within an office building). Usually, the server has applications and data storage that are shared in common by multiple computer users. A local area network may serve as few as two or three users (for example, in
One of the most commonly used Computer data storaged mediums is a Computer Disk or a Floppy. These are used in everyday life, in either our workplace or at home. These disks have many purposes, such as: Storing data: Floppies can be used to store software/data for short preiods of time, Transferring data: Floppies are used to transfer/copy data from one computer to another. Hiding data: Floppies are also sometimes used to hide sensitive or confidential data, because of the disk's small size it

however, since their books have become available in electronic format. In short, the creations had been turned into information – one that can effortlessly be copied and distributed thanks to invent of computers, Internet, and (lately), cheap data storage devices. Adobe Corporation’s eBook was meant to fix that problem for the copyright owners, while letting the readers keep their rights to their copy of the book. A book translated into eBook format would contain various permissions in it, preventing
efficiently store the audio data in files that can be easily downloaded on the Internet. MP3 files are identified by the file extension MP3 and require specialized players which decompress the files and then play the audio files like a regular CD. For all practical purposes, mp3 files can be exact, near-perfect digital copies of the original recorded material. In other words, an mp3 file is a near-perfect copy of a cd and can be stored on a computer or other data storage media.MP3 shrinks audio files
importance of accurate data input, the quality of output, and the use of different storage devices. This paper will shed light on which device is the best to use and when to use it for data storage. Another element to be discussed is the role of RAM, of clock speed, of a hard disk, of a CD ROM, and of a floppy disk and how each device determines computer speed. Through examination and exploration of each area one will achieve a better understanding of the importance of data input, data output, the advantages/disadvantage
