What are the different types of storage devices?
HDD, SSD, M.2 SATA, M.2 NVMe
2
HDD
store data on a spinning disk
3
Why is HDD still used despite being slower?
high capacity at lower cost, but slower and prone to wear
4
SSD
no moving parts, and faster
5
M.2 SATA
compact and efficient
6
M.2 NVMe
faster than M.2 SATA
7
How do you migrate from HDD to SSD?
utilize an imaging software
8
What are the steps to migrate to an SSD?
1. create an image of system on separate storage device 2. install new drive 3. copy image onto new drive
9
drive-to-drive image
Directly copying data from one drive to another
10
Where is wireless connectivity usually integrated?
the motherboard
11
802
LAN, provided by mini PCL or mini PCL express

PAN, short range connection, either separate or built into board
13
Where are Wifi connectors located?
Up high- wrap around laptop screens
14
Biometrics
a physical part of a user (ie. facial recognition, retina scan, fingerprint)
15
Biometrics require ____
additional OS configuration and hardware (ie. built in webcam or facial scanner)
16
Near Field Communication (NFC)
small data transfer over a limited area wirelessly that is built into device
17
USB-C
24 pin reversible connector and port that supports charging, data transfer, and video
18
Lightning cables
higher power output for faster charging, inserted on either side, simpler design but a part of the apple ecosystem
19
Hotspot
extending a phones cellular network onto other devices
20
Tethering
extending a phones cellular network for ONE device
21
Stylus
precise input method
22
TRRS
Tip Ring Ring Sleeve (3.5mm) (for headsets)
23
Docking station
use external peripherals and extend existing laptop interfaces to make laptop easily removable and functional
24
Port Replicator
for USB connections (no expansion card option), versatile and portable
25
Capacitive Touchscreens
detect touch through electrical properties in the human body. support multi-touch gestures, more durable, and better clarity
26
Resistive Touchscreens
respond to pressure
27
Accelerometer
detects changes in movement and orientation
28
Gyroscope
compliments accelerometer by measuring rotation and angular velocity
29
Proximity Sensor
detects when something is close to the screen and disables touchscreen and turns off display
30
Ambient Light Sensor
adjusts screen brightness based on surrounding lighting conditions
31
How do cellular networks work?
antennas separate areas of the land into cells and the antennas covers a cell with certain frequencies
32
Roaming
occurs when a device connects to a network outside of the user's home carrier (ie. when traveling abroad)
33
APN Settings
Access Point Name - dictates how the device connects to the internet and sends multimedia messages via the mobile network
34
3G
Third generation wireless communication technology allows high speed wireless data transfer
35
4G and LTE
Based on GSM and EDGE (Enhanced Data Rates for GSM Evolutions supports download rates of 150 Mbit/s vs. LTE Advanced (LTE-A) supports download rates of 300 Mbit/s
36
5G
The fifth-generation wireless broadband technology with even higher frequencies, and a significant IOT impact making it more functional
37
WiFi
connects to local 802.11 network and has no cellular bandwidth use but requires a local access point and has a limited distance
38
Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
unique identifier than contains information about the carrier and subscriber with the capability to store data
39
eSIM
embedded into the device and cannot be removed, but another can be added
40
GPS (global positioning system)
precise navigation using satellites - a phone has to see four to determine location based on timing differences
41
How do mobile device location services and geotracking work?
determine location based on GPS. wifi, and cell towers
42
MDM (mobile device manager)
structured framework that empowers IT administrators to monitor, configure, manage, and secure a wide array of devices from a centralized console
43
