That is why first decide your need is internal or external hard drives. When looking to purchase a hard disk drive the first it is important consideration is the Interface the hard disk drive uses to communicate with the computer .
- IDE/ATA This type of hard disk is used with IBM compatible computers, and very easy to install in a computer. Each IBM computer has the availability for a maximum of four IDE devices, for example IDE hard disk , CD drive and DVD drive.
- SCSI The SCSI interface is generally a better and faster solution when compared to IDE/ATA but this solution is not best for common user only best for server level machine. however in some cases can be more difficult to install. To install a SCSI hard disk drive you must have a SCSI card and an available connection on the SCSI cable connecting to the SCSI card.
- Serial ATA (SATA, IPA computer bus is a storage-interface for connecting host bus adapters (most commonly integrated into laptop computers and desktop motherboards) to mass storage devices (such as hard disk drives and optical drives). As of 2009, SATA has all but replaced the legacy ATA (retroactively renamed Parallel ATA or PATA) in all shipping consumer PCs. PATA remains dominant in industrial and embedded applications dependent on CompactFlash storage though the new CFast storage standard will be based on SATA.
- External Hard disk There are many solutions are also available; these include, USB Hard disk drive, Fire wire Hard disk drive and Parallel Hard disk drive. The main benefit with external hard disk, you can move it where you want very easily. Mostly external hard disk is used for data backup and change the physical location of data.

TIPS WHEN BUYING MONITOR
INTRODUCTION The monitor is a popular and most commonly used output device. Most monitors used in personal computers to display text, graphics, and video information. Due to different futures of monitor purchasing can be one of the most important task. Follow the some given steps to buying new or used monitor.
TECHNOLOGY OF MONITOR There are two basic types of monitors that are used with personal computer.
- CRT monitors - LCD Monitors
when you are purchasing a monitor it is important to know, you need a CRT monitor or a LCD monitor. CRT monitor is similar to standard television. Like televisions, CRT monitor size is measured diagonally, in inches, across the front of the screen. Today, CRT monitors are available in various sizes, i.e., 15, 17, 19, 21, and 22 inches. The large size monitors are more expensive and allow you to view more information on the screen at once. LCD monitor takes up less desk space and also consumes less power. LCD monitors are available with different sizes such as 15, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 23 inches. LCD monitors are commonly used in mobile devices such as laptop and table PCs. Similarly, smart phones, PDAs calculators have LCD screens.
There are two main categories of LCDs. These are
- Active Matrix LCD - Passive Matrix LCD
RESOLUTION The quality of monitor screen depends on its resolution, which is generally proportional to the size of screen.
15" monitor typically has a resolution of 800 x 600 / 1,024 x 768 17" monitor typically has a resolution of 1,280 x 1,024 19" monitor typically has a resolution of 1,280 x 1024 21" monitor typically has a resolution of 1,600 x 1,200.

TIPS WHEN BUYING PRINTER
INTRODUCTION These are most commonly used output devices used to get prints of documents on the pager. Different printers have different mechanisms. Therefore purchasing a printer can be a sometimes confusing task. The following is additional information that will help in your purchasing decisions.
TECHNOLOGY OF PRINTERS There are many types and technology of printer are available in market but the most popular and commonly used are inkjet and laser printer.
Ink Jet Printer. The inkjet printer is not-impact character printer and prints one character at a time. The printing quality of inkjet printer is measured by the number of tiny ink of drops per inch(dpi). Most inkjet printers range from 300 to 2400 dpi. Printers with higher dpi usually are more expensive but having high printing quality. The speed of an inkjet printer is measured by the number of pages per minute (ppm) it can print. Its printing speed is up to 15 ppm. Therefore purchasing a printer can be depends upon printers dpi and ppm but It depends upon user need.
Laser Printer. A Laser printer is the fastest and high quality printer, but a laser printers are more expensive than inkjet printers and their print quality is also higher. The print quality and printing speed of laser printers make them ideal for offices and business. The laser printer can print text and graphics in very high quality resolution. The commonly user laser printers have resolution of 300 or 600 dpi and printing speed is from 5 to 30 ppm. The high quality laser printers have resolution from 600 to 2400 dpi. The printing speed of these printers is also more than 150 ppm.
SPEED AND PRICE RANGE The price of laser printers depend on the quality and printing speed. The color printers are more costly than black-and-white laser printers. The higher the resolution and speed, the more expensive the printer.The price range can vary depending upon the quality of the printer and the type of printer for example inkjet, laser printers.
