The Diskette is a magnetic storage Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 1.44 MB Write Protect tab Read only Or Read and write

The Zip Disk uses magnetic material too! Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 250 MB

The Hard Disk Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 160 / 320 / 500 GB Or even 1GB!

The CD-ROM Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 700 MB

The DVD Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 4.7GB

The USB Flash Memory / Thumbdrive Storage Space/Size/Capacity = 2 or 4 GB

Units to Measure Computer Data The smallest unit for data is Bit. 1 Bit stores only 2 values 2 values “1” or “0” It is called the Binary Code

More Programs Running, More Main Memory? Demonstration for use of CPU and use of main memory. The amount of memory used by a program increases with the program’s activity The amount of memory used increases with more programs being opened. The CPU’s usage increases for a while before it drops. Then the memory usage increases.
