FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -An HDD provides a high-capacity alternative to magnetic storage media such as tape or floppy disks. It contains metal platters coated with a magnetic layer. The platters usually spin continuously when a computer is on, storing data in different sectors on the magnetic disk.

Detailed explanation-2: -The hardware in which data may be stored for a computer system is called Memory.

Detailed explanation-3: -Data is represented on modern storage media using the binary numeral system. All data stored on storage media – whether that’s hard disk drives (HDDs), solid state drives (SSDs), external hard drives, USB flash drives, SD cards etc – can be converted to a string of bits, otherwise known as binary digits.

Detailed explanation-4: -A hard disk drive or solid state drive holds all of the data; files, photos, programs, music, and movies, that the user wants to keep. Removable, external media storage devices such as flash drives and read/writeable CDs and DVDs are also secondary storage. A computer can’t function without a storage drive, however.

Detailed explanation-5: -A storage device allows users to save data and information to storage media. In other words it is a physical device that allows communication between the storage device and the storage media. Storage media are items that hold the data. Sometimes, storage media is removable as is the case with CDs and DVDs.
