MEMORY

Memory is used most often to identify fast, temporary forms of storage. When the information is kept
in memory, the CPU can access it much more quickly. Most forms of memory are intended to store
data temporarily.

READ-ONLY MEMORY (ROM)

Read-only memory (ROM) chips are located in the motherboard. ROM chips contain instructions that
can be directly accessed by the CPU.
Basic instructions for booting the computer and loading the operating systems
are stored in ROM. ROM chips retain their contents even when the computer
is powered down. The contents cannot be erased or changed by normal
means.

RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY (RAM)

Random Access Memory (RAM) is the temporary storage for data and programs that are being
accessed by the CPU.

RAM is volatile memory, which means that the contents are erased
when the computer is powered off. The more RAM in a computer, the
more capacity the computer has to hold and process large programs
and files, as well as enhance system performance.

Early computers had RAM installed in the motherboard as individual

chips. The individual memory chips, called Dual Inline Package (DIP) chips, was difficult to install
and often became loose on the motherboard. To solve this problem, designers soldered the memory
chips on a special circuit board called a memory module.

SIMMs and DIMMs

 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Schools Division of Negros Oriental
SIMMs (Single Inline Memory Module) have 30-pin and 72-pin configurations.
DIMM (Dual Inline Memory Module) is a circuit board that holds SDRAM, DDR SDRAM and DDR2
SDRAM.

DDR (Double Data Rate) technology doubles the maximum bandwidth of SDRAM, DDR2 offers
faster performance while using less technology. DDR3 operates at even higher speeds than DDR2;
however, none of these DDR technologies are backward- or forward- compatible.

CACHES AND REGISTERS

Caches are designed to alleviate this bottleneck by making the data used
most often by the CPU instantly available.
Registers are memory cells built right into the CPU that contain specific
data needed by the CPU, particularly the Arithmetic and Logic Unit (ALU).
An integral part of the CPU itself, they are controlled directly by the
compiler that sends information for the CPU to process.

STORAGE DRIVES

Storage drives read or write information on magnetic or optical storage

media. The drive can be used to store data permanently or to retrieve
information from a media disk. Storage drives can be installed inside the
computer case, such as a hard drive. For portability, some storage
drives can connect to the computer using a USB port, a FireWire port, or a
SCSI port. These portable storage drives are sometimes referred to as
removable drives and can be used on multiple computers.

Hard Drive

A hard drive, or hard disk drive, is a magnetic storage device that is installed inside the computer.
The hard drive is used as permanent storage for data. In a Windows computer, the hard drive is
usually configured as the C: drive and contains the operating system and applications. The hard
drive is often configured as the first drive in the boot sequence. The storage capacity of a hard drive
is measured in billions of bytes, or gigabytes (GB). The speed of a hard drive is measured in
revolutions per minute (RPM). Multiple hard drives can be added to increase storage capacity.
Traditional hard drives are magnetic. Magnetic hard drives have drive
motors designed to spin magnetic platters and the drive heads. In
contrast, the newer solid state drives (SSDs) do not have moving parts.
Because there are no drive motors and moving parts, the SSD uses far
less energy than the magnetic hard drive. Non-volatile flash memory chips
manage all storage on an SSD, which results in faster access to data,
higher reliability, and reduced power usage. SSDs have the same form
factor as magnetic hard drives and use ATA or SATA interfaces. SSDs
can be installed as a replacement for magnetic drives.

Optical Drive
 Republic of the Philippines
Department of Education
Schools Division of Negros Oriental

An optical drive is a storage device that uses lasers to read data on

the optical media. There are three types of optical drives: Compact
Disc (CD), Digital Versatile Disc (DVD) and Blu-ray Disc (BD). CD,
DVD, and BD media can be pre-recorded (read-only), recordable
(write once), or re- writable (read and write multiple times).

External Flash Drive

An external flash drive, also known as a thumb drive, is a removable

storage device that connects to a USB port. An external flash drive
uses the same type of non-volatile memory chips as solid state drives
and does not require power to maintain the data. These drives can be
accessed by the operating system in the same way that other types of
drives are accessed.

Types of Drive Interfaces

Hard drives and optical drives are manufactured with different interfaces that are used to connect the
drive to the computer. To install a storage drive in a computer, the connection interface on the drive
must be the same as the controller on the motherboard. Here are some common drive interfaces:

• IDE – Integrated Drive Electronics, also called Advanced

Technology Attachment (ATA) is an early drive controller interface
that connects computers and hard disk drives. An IDE interface uses
a 40-pin connector.

• SATA – Serial ATA refers to the serial version of the ATA drive
controller interface. A SATA interface uses a 7-pin data connector.

• SCSI – Small Computer System Interface is a drive controller

interface that can connect up to 15 drives. SCSI can connect both
internal and external drives. A SCSI interface uses a 50-pin, 68-pin,
or 80-pin connector.
