The document discusses storage devices, including the anatomy of hard disk drives and solid state drives. Regarding hard disk drives, it describes their composition of platters, spindle, armature, and heads. It explains tracks and sectors, and notes faster spin rates enable faster read/write speeds. It also covers traditional interfaces like PATA and newer interfaces like SATA. For solid state drives, it notes they have no moving parts and instead use flash memory, providing faster access times than hard drives though at a higher cost per gigabyte.

Graphics cards, USB 3.0 PCIe cards, and Wi-Fi cards can be installed in computers to enhance functionality, but precautions must be taken to avoid electrostatic discharge which can damage the cards. Key steps in installing cards include wearing an anti-static wristband and placing the card and computer on an anti-static mat to prevent ESD build up. More powerful graphics cards provide better quality images and effects for gaming. USB 3.0 PCIe cards offer faster data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps compared to USB 2.0. Wi-Fi cards allow internet connectivity via wireless access points.

Floppy disk working mechanism
Floppy disks work in a similar manner to cassette tapes and the magnetic strip on a credit card.
The floppy disk is constructed of stur plastic that is embedded with a thin iron oxide coating on
both sides. The head of the floppy disk drive easily manipulates the magnetic coating on the disk
to store information. Information is recorded on circular tracks and triangular sections. A special
head in the drive erases the area to be written before recording occurs. This head is wider than
the head used for recording and reading information to ensure recorded information is not
contaminated from previous information recorded nearby.
When reading the disk, the head moves to the appropriate track and sector quickly without
touching the disk. This is an improvement over older cassette tape storage that required a rewind
or fast forward movement to retrieve information. Floppy disks contain a safety slide on the side
of the case. If the slide is moved to create an opening, the drive will not record on the disk.
Introduction
A peripheral is a piece of computer hardware that is added to a computer in order to expand its
abilities. The term peripheral is used to describe those devices that are optional in nature, as
opposed to hardware that is either demanded or always required in principle. There are all
different kinds of peripherals you can add your computer. The main disctinction among
peripherals is the way they are connected to your computer. They can be connected internally or
externally.
Buses
A bus is a subsystem that transfers data between computer components inside a computer or
between computers. Unlike a point-to-point connection, a bus can logically connect several
peripherals over the same set of wires. Each bus defines its set of connectors to physically plug
devices, cards or cables together. There are two types of buses: internal and external. Internal
buses are connections to various internal components. External buses are connections to various
external components. There are different kinds of slots that internal and external devices can
connect to.
Internal
Types of Slots
There are many different kinds of internal buses, but only a handful of popular ones. Different
computers come with different kinds and number of slots. It is important to know what kind and
number of slots you have on your computer before you go out and by a card that matches up to a
slot you dont have.
PCI
PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) is common in modern PCs. This kind of bus is being
succeeded by PCI.
The document discusses the key components and functions of a video card. It describes the heat sink, video memory, video BIOS, sizes of video cards, multi-card scaling capabilities, common device driver APIs like OpenGL and DirectX, market sizes and impact of integrated graphics, and ongoing performance improvements between AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards.
The document discusses expansion slots in computers. It lists the group members and then covers standards for expansion slots including PCI, PCI Express, and AGP. It describes the construction of expansion slots and cards including sound cards, network cards, video cards, and cards that take up multiple slots. Finally, it mentions external expansion buses like USB, Express Card, and PC Card that are commonly used for laptops.

2. Why Install Hardware?
There are several reasons why you may want to install additional
hardware, and vary in their difficulty of installation. All require the cover
of the computer to be removed, and basic precautions taken to prevent
static damage.
Modifying a computer may improve the performance of the computer
depending on the installed components specification. It may also
improve the specification by providing additional ports.
Following are a few examples that show why you need to install a graphics
card, USB 3.0 PCIe card and a Wi-Fi PCI card.
3. Graphics Card
A graphics card is a piece of hardware that controls the video output, which is
normally connected to a monitor or projector. Its specification can effect the
performance of a game depending upon the specification of the card. Variations
may include, graphic processor speed, memory, etc.
A graphics card may be installed to specifically interact with certain software that
is graphic intensive such as CAD-CAM, Photoshop or video games.
There are some risks when installing a graphics card, for example Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD) can be a real hazard if the user is not grounded by using an Anti-
Static wrist strap or mat. You could also damage the card or the motherboard
through incorrect insertion of the card damaging connections. You could also crash
the computer through internal conflicts caused by an incompatible card.
To prevent this the user must ensure that the card is compatible with the
computer and the correct drivers are available for the operating system installed
on the computer.
4. USB 3.0 PCIe Card
A USB 3.0 card provides extra USB ports that may also be faster than existing USB
ports. USB 3.0 has speeds of 5 Gbit/s (625 MB/s), while USB 2.0 has speeds of
480 Mbit/s (effective throughput up to 35 MB/s).
If you have a lot of peripherals connected to your USB, including data intensive
ones including scanners and digital cameras, then you may find that older legacy
USB ports may be running too slowly, or even that you have simply run out of
ports, as most peripherals are now supplied only as USB rather than older serial or
parallel ports.
USB cards are normally very easy to install and do not normally need additional
drivers.
Installation issues are normally limited to physical or static damage , and can be
prevented through the use of antistatic straps and studying the layout before
starting the job.
5. Wi-Fi PCI Card
A computers use is massively extended when it is connected to a LAN or WAN. A
computer may already come with a network port, but most desktop computers do
not normally come with a Wi-Fi card. With the number of computers in a home
increasing, it is becoming more important to network them, however homes rarely
have network cables installed.
One option is to fit a wireless PCI card, often a good option as most broadband
routers also come with wireless functionality.
Installation issues are similar to those of the graphics cards, including static and
incorrect installation. These cards also normally require the correct drivers to be
installed, depending on the operating system.
