Mastering Storage Media: Identification and Removal for Beginners
Mastering Storage Media: Identification and Removal for Beginners, a 2-day comprehensive seminar is specifically designed for individuals with little to no computer experience who wish to gain proficiency in identifying and removing various types of current storage media. By the end of this course, participants will be equipped with the knowledge and skills to handle storage media across a wide range of devices and formats.
Key Learning Outcomes:
- Identify Storage Media: Understand and identify different types of storage media such as FPGA devices, PCI cards, Daughter Boards, in various devices including phones, printers, laptops, desktops, and servers.
- Removal Techniques: Learn the techniques for safely removing storage media including SD Cards, Magnetic Tapes, CDs/DVDs/Blu-ray, HDs, SSDs, NVMEs, and more. The focus will be on the identification and removal for disposal purposes, with no need for precise removal as the components will be shredded.
- Practical Experience: Hands-on sessions to practice the identification and removal of these storage media, ensuring real-world applicability of skills learned.
Interactive Learning and Knowledge Checks: The seminar incorporates interactive learning methods and unique knowledge checks that are challenging and not easily found elsewhere. This ensures a deep understanding of the content and tests practical skills in a real-world context.
Course Materials: Participants will receive a comprehensive PDF handout, which will serve as a valuable resource for future reference. This handout will include detailed step-by-step guides, visual aids, and best practices, specifically tailored for ADPE personnel involved in media removal.
Who Should Attend: This seminar is ideal for ADPE personnel, IT professionals beginning their career, and anyone interested in understanding the basics of storage media in various technological devices.
