In computers, different types of disks are used to store data and information. The two most popular types of disks are hard disk and floppy disk. Both hard disk and floppy disk are the type of secondary storage devices used to store permanent data and information. The primary difference between hard disk and floppy disk is that the hard disk is made of aluminum, while the floppy disk is made up of plastic. In this article, we will discuss the important differences between hard disk and floppy disk. But before that let us first discuss the basics of hard ... Read More

In a computer system, motherboard is a crucial part of the system. This is because, the complete electronic circuit of the computer system is designed on it. Motherboard includes several electronic circuits and slots for connecting various system components like RAM, HDD, CPU, etc. At present, there are several types of motherboards available in market. In this article, we will discuss the two important types of motherboards namely, AT motherboard and ATX motherboard, and the important differences between them. So, let us start with a basic introduction of AT and ATX motherboard. What is AT Motherboard? AT Motherboard stands ... Read More

Disk attachment is the process of connecting a storage device, such as a hard disk drive or solid-state drive, to a computer system. This process is essential for the proper functioning of an operating system as it allows the system to read and write data to the storage device. Disk attachment can be either internal or external, and there are several methods of attachment, including SATA, SCSI, and SAS. In this article, we will explore the different types of disk attachments, methods of attachment, disk formatting and partitioning, and disk management. Definition Disk attachment refers to the process of physically ... Read More

CPU scheduling is the process of determining which process or task is to be executed by the central processing unit (CPU) at any given time. It is an important component of modern operating systems that allows multiple processes to run simultaneously on a single processor. The CPU scheduler determines the order and priority in which processes are executed and allocates CPU time accordingly, based on various criteria such as CPU utilization, throughput, turnaround time, waiting time, and response time. Efficient CPU scheduling is crucial for optimizing system performance and ensuring that processes are executed in a fair and timely manner. ... Read More

The topology means that the elements are arranged in a particular order. They are divided into two type’s namely physical and logical topology. The nodes in the network are connected physically and the information flows through the network logically. In a computer network, the node is a point that connects data from one device to another and is used to transfer and receive information. Some of the physical nodes in the network are printers, routers, and wireless base stations and they provide an overall map of the network. There are also some logical nodes like the servers that include information ... Read More

In computers and any other computing device, the processor is the most significant component of the system as it performs the most crucial task, i.e. processing. These days, we have several types of processors such as single core processor, dual core processor, quad processors, hexa core processor, octa core processor, etc. To understand the meaning of “core” in processor, consider the example of a highway with heavy traffic. If the highway have only one-way mode, then all the vehicles should pass one by one in a queue. Therefore, the taken to reach the destination by a vehicle will be more. ... Read More

Caviar Blue and Caviar Black are the two most popular hard drive models that are developed by Western Digital Corporation. Caviar Blue is an affordable storage option for desktop PCs in the home and office that is made for regular usage. Using a SATA III interface, it can transport data at a maximum speed of 6 gigabits per second (Gbps). Although Caviar Blue is a dependable and long-lasting hard drive, it isn't optimised for high-performance activities like gaming, video editing, or running numerous programmes at once. Caviar Black is a high-performance hard drive made for power users and gamers. ... Read More

SDLC is a character-oriented protocol and HDLC is bit-oriented; this is where the two protocols diverge the most. The fault detection capability, dependability, and speed of HDLC and SDLC are different. The data is divided into bits in HDLC before being sent over the network, whereas characters are divided into bits in SDLC. Another difference between the two standards is the use of an escape character by HDLC, as opposed to SDLC, to indicate when the bit stuffing method should be used. HDLC is thought to be a suitable superset of SDLC. HDLC and SDLC share the same frame format. ... Read More

The Internet of Things (IoT) is a new framework with many useful features that could help many industries. The "Internet of Things" (IoT) is a network of gadgets, appliances, and other "things" that are connected and have electronics like sensors, processors, wireless network modules, and other similar parts. You can find everything from everyday household items to high-tech machinery in this category. The IoT is a network of devices and services that can sense and respond to their surroundings and share this information over the Internet. IoT gadgets can combine their sensor data by connecting to an IoT gateway or ... Read More
