Internal Computer Hardware
motherboard
The motherboard is the body or mainframe of the computer, through which all other components interface
Random access Memory
Random access memory (RAM) is fast-access memory that is cleared when the computer is power-down.
firmware
Firmware is loaded from the Read only memory (ROM) run from the Basic Input-Output System (BIOS). It is a computer program that is embedded in a hardware device, for example a micro controller.
power supply
The power supply as its name might suggest is the device that supplies power to all the components in the computer.
Removable media devices
The most popular are probably CD and DVD drives which almost every computer these days has at least one of.
CD
CDs are the most common type of removable media.
DVD
DVDs (digital versatile discs) are another popular optical disc storage media format. The main uses for DVDs are video and data storage.
BLu-ray
Blu-ray is a newer optical disc storage media format. Its main uses are high-definition video and data storage.
Floppy disk
A floppy disk is a type of data storage that is composed of a disk of thin, flexible(“floppy”) magnetic storage medium encased in a square or rectangular plastic shell.
internal storage
Internal storage is hardware that keeps data inside the computer for later use and remains persistent even when the computer has no power.
Hard disk drive
A hard disk drive (HDD) is a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces.
disk array controller
A disk array controller is a device which manage the physical disk drives and presents them to the computer as logical units. It almost always implements hardware RAID. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Drives
solid state Drive
A solid-state drive (SSD) is a data storage device that uses solid-state memory to store persistent data. An SSD emulates a hard disk drive, thus easily replacing it in any application.
CPU
The Central Processing Unit (CPU; sometimes just called processor) is a machine that can execute computer programs. It is sometimes referred to as the brain of the computer.
