Memory devices can be categorized as primary storage or secondary storage. Primary storage includes RAM and ROM. RAM is used to temporarily store data and programs being processed by the CPU. ROM permanently stores basic input/output programs like the BIOS. Secondary storage devices store data externally and include USB flash drives, external hard disks, optical disks like CDs/DVDs, memory cards, and online storage services. Common online storage services are DriveHQ, Dropbox, OpenDrive, SpideOak, and ZumoDrive.MEMORY OF COMPUTER SYSTEM AND UNITS OF MEMORY

Computers are electronic devices that can store, process, and retrieve data through both hardware and software. They provide benefits of speed, accuracy, and ability to work continuously. Computers take input through devices like keyboards, mice, microphones, and scanners. They process this input and provide output through monitors, printers, speakers, and other devices. Common computer components include the motherboard, CPU, memory, storage devices, power supply, and cooling fan. Software is divided into application software that enables specific tasks and system software that allows the computer to function, like operating systems.Computer memory or st orage sk

Memory devices can be classified in several ways:
1. By location as registers, main memory, and secondary memory. Registers are inside the CPU while main memory is external but faster than secondary memory like hard disks.
2. By access as sequential (location must be accessed in order) vs random access memory (RAM) which allows random access.
3. As static (maintains data without refresh) vs dynamic RAM which must be periodically refreshed.
4. As volatile (loses data on power off) vs non-volatile like ROM and magnetic storage.
Read-only memory (ROM) is non-volatile and only allows reading. It is used to permanently store information. Various ROComputer Hardware And Configuration

Computer hardware includes various components that perform different functions like input, processing, output, and storage. The main components are the processor, memory, input devices, output devices, and storage devices. The processor fetches and executes instructions while memory temporarily stores data and programs. Common input devices are the keyboard and mouse, while output devices include monitors and printers. Frequent storage devices are hard drives, CDs/DVDs, USB drives, and memory cards.Lesson 2. components of a computer system

Primary storage, also called main memory or immediate access store (IMAS), consists of random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), and cache. RAM holds data and instructions temporarily during processing and also holds the results, while ROM stores fixed system-level programs like the BIOS needed for starting up the computer. Cache provides very fast temporary memory the processor can access more quickly than RAM.memory unit

Storage devices in computer systems can be classified into three categories: primary storage (RAM), secondary storage (hard disk drives), and tertiary storage (tape drives). RAM is used for short-term storage and access by the CPU, while hard disks provide permanent secondary storage. Tertiary storage devices like tape drives are used for offline backup and archiving. The document then discusses the evolution of storage technologies over time, from early memory technologies like Williams tubes and drum memory, to floppy disks, hard disks, flash memory, and modern cloud storage solutions. It also explains key concepts like how data is represented digitally and stored on physical storage media.Internal components (technical)

The CPU controls all tasks inside the computer from basic to complex. RAM is temporary storage for active programs and data, flash memory can be deleted and reprogrammed in blocks, and ROM permanently stores data that can only be read. Adapter cards allow communication between computers and peripheral devices. The network topology determines available functions and resilience to failures. Storage devices like hard drives store and read information for the operating system, apps, and user files. Partitioning divides hard disks to create groups for multiple operating systems.ICT, Basic of Computer, Hardware, Various parts of computer hardware, What is...

A computer is an electronic device that can accept data as input, process the data according to instructions, produce output, and store information for future use. It carries out five main functions: taking input, storing data and instructions, processing data, generating output, and controlling the other functions. The two main components of a computer are hardware, the physical machinery, and software, which are programs and instructions. Hardware includes the central processing unit (CPU), memory, storage devices, input devices like keyboards and mice, and output devices like monitors and printers. The CPU contains the arithmetic logic unit, control unit, and registers. Primary memory is RAM and ROM, while secondary storage includes hard disks, optical disks, and flash drives.
