Week 4- Hardware Components and Computer Forensics

Running my new business is going to be stressful and data storage is going to be essential in keeping things organized and running smoothly. I am considering what kind of work will be done on the computer and the required free space it needs to be able to operate. By examining the types of data storage, this will make it easier for me to choose the right kind of storage.


While one page MS documnet only requires 30Kb, a laptop with 1Tb of data holds up to 1000hours of video or store 250000songs. My product is made through machines, however I am going to need computers to keep tabs of my input of outpt of supplies, therefore I do not see the need to get a large data storage because it does not involve videos and other large files. I will need a RAM of 2GB or 8GB to operate my business because that will cover creating websites, spreadsheet programs, digital imaging, etc.  For the Sleeping and Food Water  business to operate, I think a normal size of 300GB computer will be enough to store documents and information.

Since everything is stored pretty much on your hard drive. I will make sure my business takes every precaution to avoid identity theft. As well to take precautions to protect my consumers who buy from my company. I will have a SSD instead of a HDD because they are faster and more efficent and will give my company an edge. It will also increase my free storage space and this will benefit the business as it helps us save storage space and become more cost efficient in computer storage.
