Floppy Disk

What is Floppy Disk?

The Floppy Disk is a simple storage disks. It was used in a med of 1970s to 1990s and perform a read and write operations through a floppy disks drive. Therefore it is thin and flexible magnetic storage tape which sealed with rectangular plastic and fabric (for removes dust particles from tape). A floppy disks is 8 inch (203 mm) and in 5 1⁄4-inch (133 mm) and 3 1⁄2 inch (90 mm) sizes. 
The common capacity of a 5 1⁄4-inch floppy disks was 360 KB for Double-Sided Double Density (DSDD). In 1984, IBM introduced the PC-AT model the capacity of 1.2 MB it is a dual-sided 5 1⁄4-inch floppy disks, but it never became popular. Therefore in 1986 IBM started using 720 KB double density 3 1⁄2-inch microfloppy disk. In 1997, IBM introduced a high density of 1.44 MB with PS/2. However in 1988, IBM introduced a drive for 2.88 MB for Double-Sided Extended Density (DSED) it is PS/2 models, this was a commercial failure. The following types of a floppy disks with diagram is given below.

Virtual Private Network (VPN)

  What is Virtual Private Network (VPN)? A virtual private network (VPN) is a secure connection between two private networks over a public network (in other words, over the Internet). All the data that flows over the VPN is encrypted. So anyone who steals packets from the VPN will find them unintelligible; only the parties on either end of the VPN are able to decrypt the packets. VPN connections are often called tunnels. Because they provide an isolated pathway from one point to another through the Internet. The only way to gain meaningful access to a VPN tunnel is at either end. Example for VPN Connections VPNs are used for There are two common uses for VPNs: To provide remote workers with secure access to your company network: To do that, you set up a VPN on the router, and then provide your remote workers with the credentials necessary to access the VPN. The remote workers can run a software VPN client on their home computers or laptops to connec...

Motherboard

What is Motherboard? Motherboard If the processor is the brain of the computer, the motherboard is the heart of the computer. The motherboard is the main circuit board inside the computer and however, all the components and peripherals are attached to it. Therefore the most of the compute features like scalability and upgradeability depend on the motherboard. Computer Motherboard Components Components of Motherboard Key Assessable Parameters of Motherboard Form factor Chipset CPU Memory Audio Ports and Slots Headers and Connectors BIOS Form factor The root mean square value ratio to the average value ratio of the alternating current is called Form Factor and it is the ratio of the root mean square value to the average value is also known as the absolute value of the waveform. Measurements of Form Factor, Form Factor Formula Where RMS is Root Mean Square Value, AV is Average Value Ir.m.s is the root main square value of current, therefore Iav are ...
