1.3外存储器（国外英文资料） 1.3 external storage Currently, the microcomputers external memory mainly has disks and CDS. The Disk is primarily Hard Disk or Fixed Disk, and Floppy Disk or Diskette software is out of the history stage. The internal structure of the hard drive is as follows: The main technical parameters of the hard drive are as follows: (1) the capacity of hard disk often in megabytes (MB, one million bytes) and gigabytes (GB, gigabyte) as the unit, the common hard disk capacity on the market more than 4.3 GB ~ 30.1 GB. As the largest data store for personal computers, the larger the hard disk capacity, the better. And on the capacity, the restrictions on the one hand, from the manufacturers ability to make a bigger hard drive, on the other hand, from a computer users own actual work needs and economic bear ability. The choice of hard disk should be adequate and surplus. But now the hard drive under 4.3 GB has been largely eliminated, so at least 10GB of hard drives are at present. The current mainstream hard disk is 20.1 GB and will gradually transition to 30.1 GB. (2) the speed of the data transmission rate is the most concern for buyers. The data transmission rate of the hard disk is an important parameter to measure the speed of the hard drive. It refers to the computer accurately find the corresponding data from the hard disk into memory and transmission rate, as measured by how many megabytes per second transmission (MB/s), common for 10 ~ 40 MB/s. Data transmission rates are usually affected by factors such as bus speed, hard disk interface, etc., which affect the speed of disk head. If you want to pursue faster speeds or consider the need for future upgrades, you should choose the hard disk that supports the Ultra DMA interface. In particular, large files use more frequent users, and more attention to the choice of high data transmission rate drives. Due to the common interfaces and Ultra hard disk on the market price difference is very small, so, sugges
