Storage Controllers

These are basically devices which retain digital data for computing and mainly include Hard Disk, CD-ROM drive, Zip drive and Floppy drive. RAM or Random Access Memory functions as primary storage while hard disks are commonly used as secondary storage alongside floppy disks, zip drives, flash memory.

A Hard Disk Drive is a fixed drive resulting in non-volatile storage on fast rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. It was introduced in 1956 as data storage for an IBM accounting computer. As times have evolved, applications for hard disk drive have expanded to include personal digital assistants, video-gaming consoles, digital audio players, digital cameras and digital video recorders.

Data is primarily stored in a location called hard disk drive. Chassis, head arm, head actuator and platters form the main components of the hard drive of a computer. Computer interface is used to send and receive information via hard disk. There are various types of interfaces for hard drive like ATA, IDE. EIDE, RAID, SATA, SCSI,  Serial ATA, Ultra ATA. Hard drive crashes are one area that pose a hurdle to PC users.

Hard drive capacity is usually measured in megabytes, gigabytes and terabytes. The hard drives even due to normal usage led to eventual failure as the at times breakdown is inevitable in the inner fragile device.

The CD-ROM drives are used to read the compact disc read-only memory discs. A CD is a pre-pressed compact disc that contains data accessible by a computer minus the writable option. The CD-ROM drive is connected to the PC via and IDE or USB interface. All CD-ROM drives come with a capacity to play audio and video cds with the help of right software.

The Zip Drive is an intermediate capacity removable disk storage system that was introduced by Iomega in the late 1994. Zip disks of 100 MB or higher capacity are run on these drives. With passage of time, rewritable CDs and DVDs replaced Zip drives

Floppy drives have been around since the time computing began. It is basically a data storage medium made up of a thin magnetic storage disk or floppy cased in a plastic shell.
