Storage devices
This lesson includes the following sections:
Categorizing Storage Devices
Magnetic Storage Devices
Optical Storage Devices
Storage devices hold data, even when the computer is turned off.
The physical material that actually holds data is called a storage medium. The surface of a floppy disk is a storage medium.
The hardware that writes data to or reads data from a storage medium is called a storage device. A floppy disk drive is a storage device.
The two primary storage technologies are magnetic and optical.
Diskettes (floppy disks)
Hard disks
High-capacity floppy disks
Disk cartridges
Magnetic tape
Compact Disk Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) A magnetic disk's medium contains iron particles, which can be polarized—given a magnetic charge—in one of two directions.
Each particle's direction represents a 1 (on) or 0 (off), representing each bit of data that the CPU can recognize.
A disk drive uses read/write heads containing electromagnets to create magnetic charges on the medium.
Digital Video Disk Read-Only Memory

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2. Chapter 13 Objectives
• Identify types of optical drives
• Understand measurements of drive
performance
• Install a CD drive
• Understand CD-R and CD-RW
• Understand DVD drives
• Troubleshoot optical drive problems
3. Types of Optical Drives
• Standard CD
• Writeable CD (CD-R, CD-RW)
• Standard DVD
• Writeable DVD (DVD-R, DVD-RW,
DVD+R, DVD+RW, CD-R, CD-RW)
4. What is “X”?
• Theoretical maximum data transfer rate
• Multiple of 150Kbps it can read. For
example, 32X CD = 4.8Mbps
• Transfer rate is only theoretical due to
hardware limitations
• Also refers to rotational speed
5. Access Time
• Elapsed time between PC’s request and
drive’s delivery
• Measure of mechanical ability of drive to
move read head to correct spot
• 75ms is typical
6. Constant Linear Velocity (CLV)
• Found in older regular CD-ROM drives
• Found in all PC-based writeable drives
• Data read at the same area per second
• Disk spins faster when head is near center
7. Constant Angular Velocity
• Found in newer regular CD-ROM drives
• CD rotates at a constant speed
• Amount of data per second varies
depending on spot on disk being accessed
8. Other Performance Factors
• Interface (IDE, SCSI, USB)
• Competition for interface bandwidth
• Drive cache
• CPU usage
• DMA usage
9. Installing a CD Drive
1. Set any jumpers on drive needed
2. Insert drive in bay
3. Connect ribbon cable
4. Connect power cable
5. (Optional) Connect audio cable
10. Audio Cable
• Allows CD drives to play audio CDs in
analog mode
• Connects directly from sound card to CD
drive
12. DVD
• Digital Versatile Disc (data)
• Digital Video Disc (movies)
• Holds at least 4.7GB of data or 135
minutes of video
• Single and double-sided
• Single and double-layered
13. MPEG Decoders
• Required to play DVD movies
• Hardware or software
• Typically software on newer systems
15. Troubleshooting CD Problems
• Noisy drive:
– Replace drive
• CD drive not bootable:
– Enable CD booting in BIOS setup
– Change boot order to bypass other boot disks
if needed (such as hard drive)
– Ensure that the CD being read is bootable
16. How CD-R Works
• Laser hits photosensitive dye on surface of
blank disc
• Where laser touches, surface becomes
less reflective
• CD drive perceives less reflective area as
a pit
17. Troubleshooting CD-R Recording
• Buy a CD-RW drive with a large buffer
• Do not use PC while recording
• Place an IDE CD drive on its own ribbon
cable
• Do a test write first
• Lower the recording speed
• Create a disc image rather than copying
CD-to-CD
18. How CD-RW Works
• Laser has three power settings
– High: Heats area, creating a non-reflective
area simulating a pit
– Low: Re-heats the same area again, causing
it to revert back to original reflectivity
– Lowest: Reads data without changing it
19. Bootable CDs
• Contain two files for booting:
– BOOTCAT.BIN: A catalog file
– BOOTIMG.BIN: An image file containing a
virtual floppy disk
• Create a bootable CD:
– Use a CD writing utility program
– Create a bootable floppy first
– Use utility to create a BOOTIMG.BIN on disk
matching that bootable floppy’s content
