Part of Lesson Plan: Introduction to Hard Disks - Disk Geometry

Activity Overview / Details

NOTE TO TEACHER: 

I found this hard disk drive in March 2011.  After 6 months, you may want to find a more current drive.  I used http://www.cdwg.com for my images and price info

I also place a hard disk drive at each of the student's desks for them to handle and look over.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Project the picure of a hard disk drive on a whiteboard or screen with a short description of the drive and the instructions:

This picture is of a hard disk drive with the specs Western Digital Blue - WD1600AAJS - 160GB internal - SATA300 - 7200 rpm - buffer: 8 MB

Find me the best price for this drive from any supplier.

On a Word document list:

1. The name of the Hard Disk Drive and specs for the drive

2. The place you found to sell the drive, the price, and the link to the page.

3. Save the document in the Drop Box and in your Documents folder (The Drop Box is a location on our server where students can save digital assignments)

The student’s will turn in the Price out sheet, And  a successful student will have a accurate sheet 100% filled out.
