Secondary Storage

Secondary storage provides additional storage space separate from memory. The most common secondary storage devices are magnetic disks, but magnetic tape also provides secondary storage. Magnetic disks are diskettes, usually 3 ½ inches in diameter, or hard disks. Hard disks on large systems are contained in a disk pack. Hard disks hold more data and offer faster access than diskettes do. Some hard disks come in removable cartridge form. Disk data is read by disk drives. Optical disks, such as CD-ROMs, use a laser beam to read large volumes of data. Magnetic tape comes on reels or in cassettes and is mainly used for backup purposes. Magnetic tape reels are mounted on tape drives.

Translate the following text into Turkish.
Due: Oct 12th, 2006

To function, a computer system requires four main aspects of data handling: input, procesing, output, and storage. The hardware responsible for these four areas is as follows:

1- Input devices accept data or commands in a form that the computer can use; they send the data or commands to the procesing unit.

2- The processor, more formally known as the central processing unit (CPU), has electronic circuitry that manipulates input data into the information people want. The central processing unit actually executes computer instructions.
3- Output devices show people the processed data (information) in understandable and usable form.
4- Storage usually means secondary storage, which consists of secondary storage devices such as disk – hard disk or diskettes or some other kind of disk – that can store data and programs outside the computer itself. These devices supplement memory or primary storage, which can hold data and programs only temporarily.
