Sequential Access
Magnetic Tape:
• Magnetic tapes are used by large computers like mainframe computers where large volume of data is stored for a longer time.
• The cost of storing data in tapes is inexpensive.
• Tapes consist of magnetic materials that store data permanently.

Random AccessHard Disk:• It uses circular disk ,coated with magnetic
material called platters. • It rotates with very high speed inside the drive. • Data is stored on both the surface of the disk.• Each disk consists of a number of invisible
concentric circles called tracks. • The information stored in a disk can be read
many times without affecting the stored data.

Random Access (cont)
Optical disk
• It uses a circular plastic disk coated with aluminium or silver storing data.
• The data are stored in the circular tracks.
• Laser beam is used for storing and retrieve data from the disk

INPUT OUTPUT DEVICES
• Input Devices
Input devices are necessary to convert our information or data in to a form which can be understood by the computer.
• Eg: Keyboard, Mouse, MICR,OMR,OCR.
![Page 60: UNIT-I INTRODUCTION. Introduction to Computer Early days people use fingers for computing purpose. As years go, the computing needs also grew. This leads.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c250e1/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Keyboard
• This is the standard input device.• The layout of keyboard is just like the
traditional typewriter of the type QWERTY.• It also contains some extra command
keys and function keys. • The computer can recognise the electrical
signals corresponding to the correct key combination and processing is done accordingly

Mouse
• Mouse is an input device.
• When the mouse is moved across a flat surface the screen pointer is also moved in the direction of mouse movement.
• It is easier to move the cursor through a mouse

Magnetic Ink Character Recognition (MICR)
• This is widely used by banks to process large volumes of cheques and drafts.
• Cheques are put inside the MICR.
• As they enter the reading unit ,the magnetic field which causes the read head to recognise the character of the cheques.

Optical Mark Reader (OMR):
• This technique is used in objective type tests and the answer are marked by darkening a square or circular space by pencil or pen.
• These answer sheets are directly fed to a computer for grading where OMR is used.
![Page 64: UNIT-I INTRODUCTION. Introduction to Computer Early days people use fingers for computing purpose. As years go, the computing needs also grew. This leads.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070400/56649f125503460f94c250e1/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
Optical Character Recognition (OCR):
- It is used to recognize any printed character.
- This characters are compared with patterns stored inside the computer.
- Whichever pattern is matched is called a character read.
- Patterns that cannot be identified are rejected. OCRs are expensive though better the MICR.

Visual Display Unit
• The most popular output device is the Visual Display Unit (VDU).
• It is also called the monitor.
• Monitor is used to display the input data and to receive massages from the computer.
• It can be color or monochrome.
