18. 2. Unit of measurement

19. ?

20. In computer science
to measure capacity
(amount of) a
storage medium we
use BIT and its
multiples

21. JOHN ATANASOFF in 1940 invent The
Binary Code in order to use
information in the computer
Technology of storing and reading
only two values: ON (1) and OFF (0)
The Binary Code

23. A = 01000001
B=01000010
C=01000011
D = 01000100
E = 01000101
F = 01000110
G = 01000111
H = 01001000
I = 01001001
J = 01001010
K = 01001011
L = 01001100
M = 01001101
N = 01001110
O = 01001111
P = 01010000
Q = 01010001
R = 01010010
S = 01010011
T = 01010100
U = 01010101
V = 01010110
W = 01010111
X = 01011000
Y = 01011001
Z = 01011010

24. You would like to save the character «A » , the machine
transforms the character to 01000001 then save it.
This code is composed by 8 numbers which are 0 and 1.
1 is called bit.
0 is called bit.
The character “A” is coded using 8 bits.
8 bits =1 byte
The character “A” is coded using byte.
The Byte is the unit of measurement of data.

32. 3. Presentation of some
media storage

33. Difference between storage medium
and storage device
Storage medium Storage device
The physical material that
actually holds data is called a
storage medium
The hardware that writes data to or
read data from a storage media is a
storage device

34. Magnetic storage Media
A m a g n e t i c d i s k ' s m e d i u m
contains i r o n p a r t i c l e s ,
which can be polarized—given a
magnetic charge—in
one of t w o d i r e c t i o n s .
A disk drive uses r e a d / w r i t e
h e a d s containing
electromagnets to create magnetic
charges on the
medium.
Why They Call
It a magnetic
Medium

35. Magnetic storage Media

36. Floppy disk, or diskette,
is a flexible disk storage
medium, the usual storage
capacity is 1.44 MB They are
read and written by a floppy
disk drive
Floppy disks have just about
disappeared from the
computer world

37. A Hard Disk Drive is the central
storage of a computer. Hard
drives can be external or internal,
and store all data present on a
computer. They can range from
80GB and below to 2TB or higher.
Hard disk drives are composed of
rapidly rotating disks. The speed of
a hard drive is dependent on the
RPM (rotations per minute)
Platter

39. Optical storage Media

40. CD-ROM
Compact Disc Read-Only Memory
can store up to 650 MB of data, or
about 70 minutes of audio.
A CD-ROM is manufactured with the
data(Music, Games…) already on it
CD-ROM it is not recordable that is
mean it is impossible to use the Disc
writer to burn data on.
CD-R
Compact Disc Recordable can
store up to 700 MB of data or
about 80 minutes of audio
A CD-R manufactured as a blank
disc (empty) and the data is written
using a CD writer, data can't be
deleted or erased after that.

41. CD-RW
Compact Disc-ReWritable can store
up to 700 MB of data or about 80
minutes of audio
A CD-RW manufactured as a blank
disc (empty) and the data is written
using a CD writer, data can be erased
or modified many times

42. DVD-ROM
Digital Versatile Disc Read-Only Memory similar to CD-ROM
Storage capacity : 4,7GBof data, or about 120minutesofaudio.
DVD-R
Digital Versatile Disc Recordable similar to CD-R
Storage capacity : 4,7GBof data, or about 120minutesofaudio
DVD-RW
digital versatile disc ReWritable similar to CD-RW
Storage capacity : 4,7GBof data, or about 120minutesofaudio

44. Flash Disk :
USB flash drives are typically removable and
rewritable.
To use it, you must plug it into a USB port
Storage capacity : 4 GB, 32 GB , 128 GB, 256
GB (2009)
Other storage media

45. Memory Card
It is a removable storage media used with mobile
phones, cameras
Storage capacity : 128 GB (2011)
To use it, you must plug it into a Card Reader
A memory card adapter is used to transfer data from
one place to another.
A USB adapter can be taken from one computer to
another to transfer data.
