Introduction to Storage Devices
Storage Devices are the data storage devices that are used in the computers to store the data. The computer has many types of data storage devices. Some of them can be classified as the removable data Storage Devices and the others as the non removable data Storage Devices.
The memory is of two types; one is the primary memory and the other one is the secondary memory.
The primary memory is the volatile memory and the secondary memory is the non volatile memory. The volatile memory is the kind of the memory that is erasable and the non volatile memory is the one where in the contents cannot be erased. Basically when we talk about the data storage devices, it is generally assumed to be the secondary memory, i.e. volatile memory.
The secondary memory is used to store the data permanently in the computer. The secondary storage devices are usually as follows: hard disk drives – this is the most common type of storage device that is used in almost all the computer systems. The other ones include the floppy disk drives, the CD ROM, and the DVD ROM. The flash memory, the USB data card etc.
Futuristic Storage Devices & Technologies
Currently, the storage devices that use optical or magnetic technologies may be sufficient for our needs today but will quickly be outdated because of the supremacy of silicon-based processors begin to get more reliable and promising.
