From all these latest Smartphone models what do you think is the best quality of a smart phone? Or the best thing
that you consider the most when you buy a smart phone?
Computer memory is the storage space in the computer, where data is to be processed and
instructions required for processing are stored. A memory is just like a human brain. It is
used to store data and instructions.
Types of Memory
Storage Drives read or write information on magnetic or optical storage media. The drive can be
used to store data permanently or to retrieve information from a media disk. Storage drives
can be installed inside the computer case, such as a hard drive.
Floppy Drive or floppy disk drive, is a storage device that uses removable 3.5-inch floppy
disks. These magnetic floppy disks can store 720 KB or 1.44 MB of data. In a computer,
the floppy drive is usually configured as the A: drive. The floppy drive can be used to boot
the computer if it contains a bootable floppy disk. A 5.25-inch floppy drive is older
technology and is seldom used.
Hard drive or hard disk drive, is a magnetic storage device that is installed inside the
computer. The hard drive is used as permanent storage for data. In a Windows computer,
the hard drive is usually configured as the C: drive and contains the operating system and
applications.
Optical Drive is a storage device that uses lasers to read data on the optical media. There
are three types of optical drives: Compact Disc (CD), Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and
Blu-ray Disc (BD).
External Flash Drive, also known as a thumb drive, is a removable storage device that
connects to a USB port. An external flash drive uses the same type of non-volatile memory
chips as solid state drives and does not require power to maintain the data. These drives
can be accessed by the operating system in the same way that other types of drives are
accessed.
