    Block devices organize data into fixed-size blocks that each have a unique address, with block sizes typically between 512 to 65,536 bytes. Examples include hard disks, Blu-ray discs, and USB sticks. Character devices send or receive a stream of characters regardless of block form, with no seek action or addressing. Printers, network interfaces, mice, and most non-disk devices are character devices. A graphics card provides digital-to-analog conversion, video RAM, and a video controller to send data to a computer's display, acting as a device controller.

    Progress Assessment (PRINCIPLES OF I/O HARDWARE)

    I/O devices can be roughly divided into two categories: Identify and Discuss what are
    these devices

    Block Devices

    It organizes data into fixed-size blocks, each with its own unique address. Block sizes
    typically range from 512 to 65,536 bytes.

    Hard disks, Blu-ray discs, and USB sticks are all examples.

    Character Device

    It sends or receives a stream of characters, regardless of block form. There is no seek


    action and it is not addressable.

    Printers, network interfaces, mouse, and most other non-disk-like devices can all be classified
    as character devices.

    Give examples of Device Controllers and discuss how device controller works on your
    given examples.

    (Graphics card)

    A graphics card is an integrated circuit card in a computer or, in some cases, a monitor
    that provides digital-to-analog conversion, video RAM, and a video controller so that data can
    be sent to a computer's display.
