Explanation of Solution
Given:
Three hard drives.
High end video card.
DVD drive.
To find: The reasonable wattage capacity for power supply when three hard drives, a high-end video card, and DVD drive are connected.
Solution:
High-end video card uses 300 Watts.
SATA hard drive takes 15-30 for all three types.
DVD drive takes 20-30 Watts.
The power will be:
The actual power consumption is more than the given directives for the hard drive. 30% more than the power supply mentioned is used

A 32-bit computer has two selector channels and one multiplexor channel. Each selector channel supports two magnetic disks and two magnetic tape units. The multiplexor channel has two line printers, two card readers, and five VDT terminals connected to it. Assume the following transfer rates.
Disk drive 700 Kbytes/s
The magnetic tape drive 200 Kbytes
Line printer 6.6 Kbytes/s
Card Reader 1.2 Kbytes/s
VDT 1 Kbytes/s
Estimate the maximum aggregate I/O transfer rate in this system.
Match the following ports to the diagrams in Figure 6-67: Dual Link DVI-I, USB Type A, USB Type B, VGA, DisplayPort, Mini DisplayPort, HDMI, and serial RS-232. (Note that some port diagrams are not used.)
