The video briefly discussed storage devices for computers. It covered internal storage devices, such as hard disk drives, and external storage, such as 8 ½ floppy disk drives. The video also described the different type of hard disk drive connectors which are as follows: * SATA * PATA * SCSI
The video also had a rather detailed breakdown of how an internal hard disk drive works. During the explanation of how the drive works he used several terms that most people might not understand right away which he then defined for clarity. Following is a list of just a few of the terms that were used: * Platter – Disk located in the hard disk drive that data is stored on. * Track – a virtual ring on the platter used as a “groove” that data is written on for access purposes, similar to the grooves on a record. * Cylinder – vertical location of the platters within the hard disk drive. Combinations of platter number in the cylinder as well as track information are needed to retrieve data. * Latency – the delay before a transfer of data begins following an instruction for its transfer.

Personally, I believe that the video was rather brief on a lot of the storage devices that were covered. The internals of the hard disk drive were covered very well; however, more time could have been put into describing the other forms of storage as well. Overall it was a very informative video, and I would recommend it to others needing to know more about storage devices.
