Computer Components
Storage Measures Computers have a very elementary way to store data: they can remember only 0 or 1. A value of 0 or 1 is called bit and all computer data are stored as sequences of bits. A sequence of 8 bits is called a byte,
Modern computers are able to deal with enormous quantity of bytes: Kilobyte (KB), approximately 1,000 bytes (actually 1024 bytes) Megabyte (MB), approximately 1,000 KB or one million bytes Gigabyte (GB), approximately 1,000 MB or one billion bytes Terabyte (TB), approximately 1,000 GB or one trillion bytes
Moore’s law Number of transistors in a processor doubles every 18 months. Unfortunately software’s performance does not increase with the same rate.
Devices Hard Disk Internal hard disk External hard disk The computer uses several devices to permanently store and move data, which vary a lot in terms of capability, cost, speed and portability. Hard Disk Internal hard disk External hard disk SSD (Solid State Drives)
CD, DVD Blu-ray (also known as Blu-ray Disc (BD) Memory stick or USB pen drive
