About Computer Workstations

Computer workstations are client computers that connect to a network and share data with other machines. They are used in applications such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), graphic design, software development, medical imaging, and point of sale (POS) systems. Unlike terminals or dumb terminals, computer workstations can include a hard drive and installed applications so that they can be used independently of a server. In terms of computing power, low-end workstations are equivalent to high-end personal computers (PCs) while high-end workstations are equivalent to minicomputers. Computer workstations are available with a variety of operating systems and processors. They provide random access memory (RAM) with separate internal and external caches and may even include Flash memory, a type of RAM that can retain information when the computer is powered off. 

Selecting computer workstations requires an analysis of storage specifications. Some devices include integrated drive electronics (IDE), a small computer system interface (SCSI), or a random array of independent disks (RAID). Other devices include a tape drive, a 1.44 MB 3.5” floppy drive, or removable magneto-optic (MO) storage technology. Computer workstations with drives that can read or record compact disks (CDs) are commonly available. Compact disk read-only memory (CD-ROM) drives can read but not record information. By contrast, compact disk recordable (CD-R) drives can write once and read many times while compact disk rewritable (CD-RW) drives can read, write, erase, and rewrite disks. Disk drives that can read or record digital versatile disks (DVDs) are also available.
