INTRICT -11TH WEEK(STORAGE DEVICES)
In this meeting we first discussed about databases. I learned that databases really help in organizing large amounts of data for records and data of organizations. I also learned that the most reliable database softwares are MySQL, Oracle, MS Access, and MS SQL Server. MS Excel can be used too but it has a restriction and limit of up to 65,000 data only. We discussed about storage devices and its history. The first storage device was the 32 k 8' disk and progressed until the 1.2 MB 3.5' double sided floppy disk. After the floppy disk age then came the CD age which started from a CD/R which has 750 MB, then came the DVD which contained 4GB, then towards the DVD-DL which has 8GB and towards the BLUE RAY which contained 32 GB.
