A hard disk drive (HDD) is an old-school storage device that uses mechanical platters and a moving read/write head to access data.  A solid-state drive (SSD) is a newer, faster type of device that stores data on instantly-accessible memory chips. Beware! The above image shows price comparison of a laptop with a HDD and another with an SSD. 😱 How they store? HDDs : An enclosure contains a series of platters covered by a ferromagnetic coating. The direction of the magnetization represents the individual bits. Data is read and written by a head (similar to  the way vinyl record albums work ) that moves extremely fast from one area of the disk to another. Since all of these pieces are “mechanical,” the hard disk is the slowest component of any computer – and the most fragile. SSD : These newer types of disks store information on flash memory, which consists of individual memory cells storing bits that are instantly accessible by the controller. ...

 Hi Peeps !!! This is Boopathy.             Around the world there are several wonders to be admired. Most of those are the outcomes of inspiring architectures. And some are accidental, but surely it would keep us all amused. Let's look at few works which were accidentally artistic. 1. FLY GEYSER:          It is located in Neveda, United States . In 1916, a well was drilled there for the purpose of irrigation. But it was left alone as that boiling water was unsuitable for farming. Again, In 1964, another test well was drilled by the geothermal energy company. this time the was not hot enough to their expectation and was supposedly re-sealed.           The thermophilic algae which flourish in moist and hot environment results in green and red coloring of rocks. The fly geyser now stands as a rainbow-coloured geologic wonder. 2. PARK TUNNEL:           This tunnel is located in Not...

We must have come across the famous cube puzzle in our childhood. It was first created by a Hungarian Scientist, Rubik. Hence, the name Rubik's Cube. Solving a 3x3 cube itself demads more IQ. But did you know there are several other versions of it and they require varying degrees of IQ? Here are some pictures of 'em. There are much more and can be created logically.  Thank You... Cheers...

• NCR and NCT are acronyms defining geographical regions in and around the national capital of India.  • While NCT stands for National Capital Territory and delineates geographical boundaries of Delhi, NCR refers to National Capital Region and comprises not just Delhi but 4 satellite towns such as Gurgaon, Faridabad, Ghaziabad, ands NOIDA. • While NCR is not an area having any legal jurisdiction, NCT is an actual map dividing Delhi into 9 districts for the purpose of administration. Thank You... Cheers...

Wakin' up from hibernation... The previous blog post explained basic information about MBR and GPT, and this part devotes to how to choose partitioning scheme. BIOS + MBR If motherboard in your computer is BIOS or UEFI with BIOS mode, MBR partition plan is the correct choice. UEFI + GPT Oppositely, if your computer is using UEFI motherboard and enables UEFI mode, then please employ GPT partition scheme. You might be confused by the conclusion above, as there are many guides online teaching users to install operating system on BIOS+ GPT or UEFI +MBR . My advice is that if you are not technical geek or professional user , you'd better choose BIOS + MBR or UEFI +GPT , as you can benefit: 1. Better performance in hardware and software, faster speed. 2. Avoid many potential issues that may occur to installation or running Windows. Professional users can easily fix these problems, but common users can't get rid of any system errors easily. Some users may ask whether...

Booting-in... What a partition is? Computer contains at least one hard drive (HDD) for data storage, but the physical drive can't store data directly before partitions are created. Strictly speaking, partition can't store data if files system is not built. Partition should be formatted to NTFS or FAT files system before storing data. One physical hard drive can be divided into several partitions (it is OK to have one partition only). How to create multiple partitions? This is when partition table come to use. Partition table defines and stores partition information, locating certain disk space on the beginning area. Operating system gains partition information by way of accessing data in partition table. There are essentially two basic partition schemes: MBR & GPT . MBR stands for Master Boot Recorder.  GPT stands for GUID Partition Table.  And GUID =Global Unique Identifier.  What is? and Elucidation on MBR: The MBR partitioning...

Hi Peeps !!! This is Boopathy.             We might have come across many stories and sayings that "cop's son turned criminal". A best example for that is Dawood Ibrahim Kaskar . He was born as a son of head constable in Mumbai police in Ratnagiri district of Maharastra. Then, he was raised in Doongri, there he joined Ahmed Sailor High School . But, he was dropped out of the school as his father could not afford his education.            After that he joined a gang of boys who have been residing in his area and got into hooliganism . When he was 19 years old, he joined with a mobster called Haji Mastan . Later, he got rid of him and formed his own gang along with is brother, Shabir Ibrahim Kaskar . That gang was popularly called as 'D - company' or Dawood Company  in 1970s. The company rapidly got its notoriety by engaging in international drug trafficking, counterfeiting, weapons smuggling, extortion, target killing ...

Before one gets into work with the Windows, there are several steps taken to boot (technical term for load) Windows Operating System(OS). The loading of any OS and the system resources like display monitors, USB Controllers, CD Drives, Hard Disk Drives(HDD) and several others are handled and configured by a frimware. This frimware is provided by your PC or Desktop manufacturer and it depends in who it is, DELL, HP, ASUS or any other manufacturer. This frimware has undergone several changes overtime and now stands as 2 main types. This article addresses this issue. Let's not get into the years and chronology. Let's boot-in. BIOS and UEFI are two firmware interfaces for computers to start the operating system. BIOS uses the Master Boot Record (MBR) to save information about the hard drive data while UEFI uses the GUID partition table (GPT). Compared with BIOS, UEFI is more powerful and has more advanced features. BIOS stand for Basic Input Output ...
