Types of Components and Objects To Be Measured

The document discusses different types of computer components and objects that can be measured. It identifies data storage capacity, which is measured in kilobytes, megabytes, gigabytes, and terabytes, as something that can be measured. The document then discusses different types of data storage devices like magnetic storage devices (hard drives, portable hard drives, magnetic tapes, floppy disks), optical storage devices (CDs, DVDs, HD-DVDs, Blu-ray discs), and solid state storage devices (memory sticks, memory cards, smart cards). Finally, it states that a computer's processor speed and a video card's performance measured in frames per second are also components that can be measured.

LESSON 1: TYPES OF COMPONENTS AND

OBJECTS TO BE MEASURED
At the end of the lesson, you will be able
to:

■ Identify the names of


components and its means of
measurement;
PRE-TEST
1. Data Storage Capacity - refers to how
much disk space one or more storage devices
provides. It measures the capacity of data on a
computer system. The storage capacity is
measured in Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes (MB),
Gigabytes (GB) and terabytes (TB). For
example, a computer with a 500GB hard drive
has a storage capacity of 500gigabites or 5
billion bytes.
TYPES OF DATA STORAGE
DEVICE
1. Magnetic storage media and devices - stores data
in a form of tiny magnetized dots.

Kinds of magnetic storage media and devices:


a. Hard drive
b. Portable hard drive
c. Magnetic tape
d. Floppy disk
KINDS OF MAGNETIC STORAGE
DEVICES
A. HARD DRIVE - have a relatively high storage capacity
(up to 1 TB). They can be used for storing large
quantities of data
KINDS OF MAGNETIC STORAGE
DEVICES
B. PORTABLE HARD DRIVE - Also known as
external hard drive, is one that is mount in a small
case along with some electronics that allows the
hard-drive to be accessed using a USB link or
similar connection. Portable hard-drives make it
possible to transfer large volumes of data from
computer to another computer.
KINDS OF MAGNETIC STORAGE
DEVICES
C. MAGNETIC TAPE - is a medium for
magnetic recording, made of a thin,
magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip
of plastic film.
KINDS OF MAGNETIC STORAGE
DEVICES
D. FLOPPY DISK - is a detachable, portable,
inexpensive, low-capacity (1.44 MB) storage
medium
TYPES OF DATA STORAGE
DEVICE
2. Optical storage device - is a kind
of computer disk drive that reads
and writes data from optical disks
KINDS OF OPTICAL STORAGE
DEVICES
A. CD OR COMPACT DISC - discs can hold around
800MB of data
KINDS OF OPTICAL STORAGE
DEVICES
B. DVD OR DIGITAL VERSATILE DISC - ) discs can
hold around 4.7GB of data.
KINDS OF OPTICAL STORAGE
DEVICES
C. HD-DVD OR HIGH DENSITY DVD - can hold
around 15 GB of data
KINDS OF OPTICAL STORAGE
DEVICES
D. BLU-RAY DISCS - is a high capacity optical disks that
can hold data from 25-50 GB.
TYPES OF DATA STORAGE
DEVICE
3. SOLID STATE - Is a storage device that has no moving parts
no reels of tape, no spinning discs, and no laser beams. Solid-
state storage devices store data using a special memory type
known as flash memory.
KINDS OF SOLID STATES
A. Memory sticks or 'thumb-drives or flash drives -
Each of these small devices has flash memory attached to a USB
interface.
KINDS OF SOLID STATES
B. Memory card- is a kind of storage device that is used
for storing media and data files. It is commonly used in
small, portable devices, such as cameras and phones.
KINDS OF SOLID STATES
C. Smart card - is a plastic, credit-card size card with one or
more embedded computer chip.
TYPES OF COMPONENTS AND
OBJECTS TO BE MEASURED
PROCESSOR - is also called the
CPU or central processing unit which
is considered as the computer's 'brain.
CPU’s speed is measured in Hertz.
TYPES OF COMPONENTS AND
OBJECTS TO BE MEASURED
Video card - is also called as graphics
cards, video adapters, display cards,
graphic adapters and graphic accelerators.
It is a computer component that is used to
enhance the quality of images showed on a
display.
TYPES OF COMPONENTS AND
OBJECTS TO BE MEASURED
Video card - The card’s performance is measured in its
frame rate which is calculated in frames per second
(FPS). The frame rate shows how many complete
frames/images the card can display per second. The
human eye can process about 25 frames every second,
but fast-action games require a frame rate of at least 60
FPS to provide smooth animation and scrolling.
