Hard disk drive

Hard drives have grown in size and slimmed down in size over the years. When the first hard drives were being developed they were 3.75 Megabytes, that is the size of about one high quality 3 minute song. It was 68 cubic feet big, that is the just under the average minicompact car cubic footage. And weighed just about as much as the car, the hard drive weighing in at 2,000 pounds. To access data on it it would take about 600 milliseconds, that was fast for back then. They were amazed they could…

SSD, Optical Drive (DVD-RW) (CD-RW) the read and write rate varies on the size of the chip some manufactures build there chips faster than others so it always best to shop around other types of memory include ROM & NOR-FLASH these types have limits and do not allow data to be wrote to them. Optical Disk…

When creating an Oracle database one must consider what type of performance and needs you will need to keep your Real Application Cluster (RAC) environment operating at peak instances. When an Oracle database spans across multiple instances on different servers with shared data files. When the database spans across several hardware systems but it will appear as a single combined database within the application. Real Application Cluster allows the commodity to be utilized in way that they could…

Two years ago, when I first started looking for colleges I fell in love with Bennington because it did three things better than any of the other schools I visited: Theatre, Film, and Internships. Fast forward one year, and I applied early decision to Bennington, and only Bennington. I was sure, and still am sure it was the right decision, but not because I intend on studying film and theatre. Another reason I went to Bennington is its understanding that students don’t always know what they are…

We’ve used a lot of devices and storages so far in our life, but one thing that might be weird to people is the RAID. RAID stand for redundant array of independent disks and is a place for people to store their information. It is stored on CDs, instead of the normal flash drives and hard drives. RAIDS are different from the normal CDs, because they have to divide the data and spread the blocks into several megabytes for RAID to work. This is to make RAID efficient and fast. There are lots of…

My computer is an Apple MacBook Pro 13’. A MacBook is part of Apple’s computer family and was introduced in 2006. Every since then, technology has improved greatly and now a lot of the newer Macs are enhanced. For example, in 2013, Apple released “retina display” to their computer family to enhance the screen for consumers to use. The new retina display screens are way more bright and clear. I mainly use my MacBook for everything, from watching Netflix, to doing all different types of school…

till I heard a click. The power supply slid into place and I screwed it down. The last order consisted of a HDD and a SSD. These where installed the same, I attached a couple brackets to them and slid them into the hard drive housing, and plug them in. When I slid the second hard drive in, I knew I had successfully built my first computer. I quickly plugged everything in, and pressed the massive power button, then my heart sunk, it didn’t turn on. I felt like I was going to vomit. I frantically…

motherboard might have the same features as a standard ATX motherboard. BIOS: BIOS is a set of computer instructions in firmware which controls input and output operations (Basic Input Output Systems).The BIOS will make sure that all the other chips, hard drives, ports and cPU function together. There are two different types of…

modern technology, digital forensic experts are facing a number of data sources that they need and rely on to acquire valuable information for their investigations. Data sources can come from different forms and areas such as: personal computer, hard drives, network logs, social networking sites, mobile devices. These sources can contain a vast amount of data. Hence, they lead up to many challenges in acquiring the data. For example, just in mobile devices category, there are multiple types of…

access to data frameworks. The scopes of potential digital evidence supports have grown exponentially, be it hard drives in personal computers and laptops or solid state memories in mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets, even while idleness times linger behind. This paper discusses four best sources of data that forensics experts hunger to get their hands on. They are log files, hard drives, mobiles devices, and social networking websites. Each of these sources has its own…
