—————————————————
– Store Operating System, Application, Data- music, video, documents
Internal HDD PATA/SATA
SSD (Solid State Devices) – NVMe – M.2 , SATA
To store data externally – USB Pendrive, USB External HDD

Hard Disk
Uses Magnetic Media for Storing Data
Non-Volatile Permanent Storage Device
Mass Storage Device
Interfaces Used
IDE / EIDE –PATA
SATA
ATA – Advanced Technology Attachment
PATA – Parallel ATA -40pin – ribbon
SATA – Serial ATA 7pin – single wire
SATA is faster than PATA
SATA III – 6Gbps

Partitioning

Disk Partitioning is the Process of Logically Dividing the Storage Space of a Hard Disk into Separate Areas Commonly called as Partitions or Drivers
There are Two types of Partitions
Primary
Extended

MBR and GPT
When a fresh/new disk drive connected system ask for initialize as MBR type or GPT type
Partition style/Type – MBR or GPT
When we install OS in fresh PC/System – OS and MotherBoard are BIOS firmware – Disk initialize as MBR
MotherBoard – UEFI firmware and OS is latest (uefi support) – Disk initialize as GPT

MBR: Master Boot Record
4 Primary partitions
3 Primary partitions and 1 extended partitions
1 extended –multiple no of logical drives
Partition Size support – upto 2TB

GPT:GUID Partition Table
128 Primary partitions
No extended- no logical
Partition Size : more than 2TB, Upto 18EB

File System
To store data in a device we need file system
Win : FAT, NTFS
FAT: Supports 32GB
NTFS – upto 2TB and more than 2TB, Security, Encryption, Compression, Quota, and Indexing
exFAT – SD Card (more than 32GB)
ReFS – Resilient File System – CRC prevents data from corruption
Linux/Unix: ext3,ext4,xfs
Network – NFS, CIFS (SMB)
DVD – UDF
CD – HSFS,CDFS

SSD – Solid State Drive
-NAND memory
-data stores in chips
-HDD data stores in Platter
-Non volatile
-light weight – carry easily
-easy to transport
-less power consumption
-small size
-high speed -read and write , transmission
-Suitable for Operating and Application
-Not suitable for storing data – we can store but SSD is costly
-costly
-250GB SSD – 1TB HDD

SSD
NAND SATA SSD
-connecting to SATA interface on MB

-Read and Write speeds up to 540MB/s and 500MB/s

NAND NVMe M.2 SSD
-faster than SATA SSD
-costly
-Inserting into motherboard like RAM or CPU
-reads or writes up to 2400MB/s – 1900MB/s
