    Tukuran Technical – Vocational High School

    Learning Activity Sheet in Internet and Computing Fundamentals (ICF 7)


    Week 5: STORAGE DEVICES AND STORAGE MEDIA
    Learning Competencies:

     Enumerating and explaining the types of storage devices and storage media
     Pointing out and measuring the computer’s memory
     Illustrating and relaying the flow of information between storage devices to the
    microprocessor and RAM

    General Instruction: Do not write anything on this sheet. Write your answers on a Yellow paper. Don’t forget to write
    your name on your answer sheets.
    Types of storage devices

    Often called storage or memory, computer Computer storage and memory is often

    ACTIVITY 1
    Direction: The following are examples of storage devices. Categorize them into primary and secondary storage and
    specify their storage capacity in KB, MB, or GB.
    1. Cache 6. Memory Card
    2. External Hard Disk 7. Dynamic Random Access Memory
    3. USB Flash Drive 8. Digital Versatile Disc (DVD)
    4. Read-Only Memory 9. Internal Hard Disk
    5. Compact Disc (CD) 10. Static Random Access Memory

    ACTIVITY 2
    Direction: Complete the table below for the units used in measuring memory in storage devices.

    Computer Memory Units Equivalent (in bytes)


    1 kilobyte (1 KB) (1) bytes
    (2) 1,048,576 bytes
    (3) 1,073,741,824 bytes
    1 terabyte (1 TB) (4) bytes
    (5) 1,125,899,906,842,624 bytes
    The computer does its primary work in a part of the
    COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE machine we cannot see, a control center that converts data
    input to information output. This control center, called the
    central processing unit (CPU), is a highly complex, extensive
    set of electronic circuitry that executes stored program
    instructions.
    How do data and instructions get from an input
    device into memory?
    The control unit sends them. Likewise, when the
    time is right, the control unit sends these items from

    ACTIVITY 2
    Direction: Match column A with its correct definition on column B. Write your answer on a separate sheet of paper.

    1. Input Unit A. Provides a visual display of the information and computation


    2. Storage B. An IC within a CPU that performs arithmetic and logic operations
    3. Output Unit C. Implements the microprocessor instruction set.
    4. Control Unit D. Holds the instructions before they are processed
    5. ALU E. Provides a means to input the data and instructions into the
    computers

    ACTIVITY 3
    Direction: Complete the table below to summarize the characteristics of various kinds of data storage.

    STORAGE SPEED CAPACITY RELATIVE COST PERMANENT?


    A. Registers Fastest (1) Highest (2)
    B. RAM (3) Low/Moderate (4) No
    C. Floppy Disk Very Slow (5) Low (6)
    D. Hard Disk (7) Very High (8) Yes
