Computer Peripherals

What do you think the most common peripherals attached to a customer’s computer would be? Give reasons for your answer. (List at least 5 peripherals.) Describe hard drive storage options. What are ATA hard drives? What are the two different ATA hard drives? What is spindle speed? How is spindle speed important in an ATA hard drive? What are SSDs? What are the advantages of SSDs over ATA hard drives? What are the disadvantages of SSDs over ATA hard drives? In the second part of this section of the training manual, in 1 – 2 pages, address the following scenario: A customer currently has a desktop PC which, among other things, has a 970 Gaming ATX AM3+ motherboard, with a SATA hard drive that has 150 GB storage and 3600 RPM spindle speed. The customer is complaining that the SATA hard drive is running out of storage and is slow. They indicate that they have a budget of $200 and would like this hard drive to last for the next few years. They have several videos and photos that they currently need to store, which will take up at least 100 GB. They anticipate the need to store at least 75 GB of data over the next few years. For this project, make use of the PC Part Picker website to identify appropriate components. Based on your readings and PC Part Picker, what do you recommend they purchase? Explain your reasons for your choice. After you purchase the hard drive, explain the procedure for installing what was recommended within their PC. What cables, if any, are used? What bay, if any, on the PC is used? Are any bay adapters needed? If so, which one? What safety procedures will you follow? Why? Be sure to list the resources you used in your research within the project using in-text citations and at the end of the assignment on a reference page, formatted according to APA standards.
