Secondary Storage
Secondary storage provides permanent or nonvolatile
storage. Using secondary storage devices such as a hard
disk, data and programs can be retained after the computer
has been shut off.
Hard-Disk
HDD is Non-volatile permanent storage device, Uses
magnetic media for storing data, and Hard disks save files
by altering the magnetic charges of the disk’s surface to
represent 1s and 0s. Hard disks retrieve data and programs
by reading these charges from the magnetic disk.
2. Hard disks use rigid metallic platters that are stacked one
on top of another.
3. Hard disk store and organize files using tracks, sectors
and cylinders.

History of Hard disk
The first hard disk drives were small in capacity, physically large, and
expensive when compared to the cost of drives today.
They were about 4 inches tall, 5.25 inches wide, and 8 inches long, and
they weighed almost 10 pounds.
In 1981, IBM introduced the XT computer with a 10 MB hard drive.

USB / External Hard disk
Solid state storage devices have no moving parts. Data and information are stored
and retrieved electronically directly from these devices.
It is new hard disk than other , more costly and high speed hdd
It is pinless Hard disk like sata
Sata molex use for power
Sata data cable use
Access speed 6 Gbps plus
Faster Performance
No Vibrations Or Noise
More Energy Efficient

What is Partitioning?
Disk partitioning is the process of logically dividing the storage space of a hard disk into separate areas commonly
called as partition or drives
There are three types of partitions
Primary
