Mensuration refers to the process
of measuring the computer
components and objects to fully
understand the needed
requirements and capacity. The
results of measurements taken
are the calculations that are
Types of Components and
Objects to be Measured:
1. Memory — Memory is the
working storage space of the
computer which holds data,
processing instructions, and
processed data (information)
waiting to send in secondary
a. Random Access Memory (RAM) —
is the computer’s portion that
temporarily stores the computer’s
running instructions and data it
handles. RAM data is volatile.
The RAM can carry millions of bytes
of data, so the capacity is calculated
based on Megabytes (MB) 1,000,000
or 1 million bytes and Gigabytes (GB)
When using the computer the
RAM must have:
• Computer operating system
• Application software
• Any information which is
processed
b. Read Only Memory (ROM) — is a
type of non-volatile memory used in
computers and other electronic
devices. Data stored in ROM cannot be
electronically changed during the file
of the system, also known as
firmware. Soft applications (like video
games) for programmable devices can
2. 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 Kilobytes (KB), Megabytes
(MB), Gigabytes (GB) and Terabytes
(TB). For example a computer with
Types of Data Storage Device:
1. Magnetic storage media and
devices — stores data in a form
of tiny electromagnets using
magnetic films.
a. Hard drives – have a relatively
high storage capacity (up to 1 TB).
They can be used for storing large
quantities of data. Hard drives are
random access device that can be
used to store all film types,
including large files like videos,
Data access are very fast. The
b. Portable hard drive – also
known as external hard drive, is
one that is mount in a small case
along with some electronics that
allow the hard-drive to be
accessed using a USB link or
similar connection. Portable hard-
drives make it possible to transfer
c. Magnetic Tape – is a medium
for magnetic recording, made
of a thin, magnetizable
coating on a long, narrow strip
of plastic film.
d. Floppy disk – is a detachable,
portable, inexpensive, low capacity
(1.44 MB) storage medium. Floppy
disks are random-access devices
used to transfers small amounts of
data between computers or to back-
up small files. This device has
already been replaced by CD-ROMS,
2. Optical storage device — is a kind
of computer disk drive that reads
and writes data from optical disks
through laser beaming technology.
This kind of drive allows a user to
retrieve, modify and delete the
content from optical disks such as
CDs, DVDs and Blu-ray disks. Optical
a. Compact disc CD-ROM
(read only memory) discs
can hold around 800mb. The
data cannot be changed
(non-volatile) and cannot be
accidentally deleted. CD-
ROM’s are random access
b. Digital Versatile Disc –
Read-Only Memory (DVD-
ROM) discs can hold around
4.7GB of data, dual layer DVD
can hold twice as much. DVD-
ROMs are random access
devices. They are used for
c. Blu-Ray discs — is a high
capacity optical disks that can
hold data from 25-50 GB. It is the
recent replacement for DVD. Blu-
ray discs are random access
devices
d. High density DVDs (HD-DVD) –
can hold around 15 GB of data. It
is also a random access device.
