9. 1. Random Access Memory
2. An integrated circuit made up of millions of
transistor and capacitor.
3. Volatile
4. Two type - Static RAM [SRAM]
Dynamic RAM [DRAM]
10. DRAM
1. Volatile memory
2. it requires stored information refreshed..
SRAM
1. Volatile memory
2. it never require refresh.
11. 1. Read only memory
2. non- volatile
3. Three types – PROM , EPROM , EEPROM..
12. PROM
Programmable Read Only Memory
EPROM
Erasable Programmable ROM
EEPROM
Electrically Erasable Programmable ROM
13. 1. Speed up the way application work
2. called microprocessor
3. fast memory
4. more expensive then RAM
14. 1. Permanent Storage Device,
2. non-volatile,
3. Doesn’t loose data when computer is turned
off..
15. 1. It is readable or writable
2. It refers movable and backup storage
3. It is permanent until changed by user..
16. There are mainly three types:-
1. Magnetic Disks
2. Optical Disks
3. Magnetic Tapes..
17. 1. Consist of magnetically coated disks
2. Two types:-
Hard Disk Drive,
Floppy Disk..
18. 1. Invented in 1950s.,
2. Non-volatile,
3. store data or information
4. Use thicker, metallic platters for storage
5. Large capacity

22. Floppy Disk
Diskettes
Flexible disk and Floppies
The plastic disk inside the diskette cover is flexible
Portable storage media
Floppy disk drives (FDD)
Disk surface to represent ones and zeroes.
Characters are represented by positive + and –
charges using ASCII code.

23. High capacity
Known as a floppy-disk cartridge
Require special disk drives
Three well known types
◦ Zip disks (Iomega)
100MB, 250MB, 750MB
◦ HiFD disks (Sony)
200MB, 720MB, read and store data on 1.44MB disk
◦ SuperDisks (Imation)
240MB, 120MB

25. Compact
Permanent storage
Optical disk use reflected light.
The 1s and 0s are represented by flat areas
called lands and bumpy areas called pits.
Two common types
◦ CD ( 650 MB to 1GB)
◦ DVD ( 4.7 GB to 17 GB)

26. Optical format
From 650 MB to 1 GB capacity
Rotation speeds vary
It determines how fast data can be transferred from the CD
24X or 24- speed CD drive can transfer 3.6 MB per second.
Types
◦ Read only: CD-ROM
◦ Write once: CD-R
◦ Rewriteable: CD-RW
◦ Picture CDs and Photo CDs

27. Digital Versatile Disk or Digital Video Disk
(DVD)
Similar to CDs, but can store more data
Types
◦ Read only
◦ Write once
◦ Rewritable

29. New standard in storage
Blu-Ray
◦ New disks use blue laser light instead of the red
laser light used in traditional CD players
◦ Disks may ultimately hold
Over 30GB on one-sided disks
Over 50GB on two-sided disks
