LESSON
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
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.
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).
