Stored Knowledge! By Kurt Kaleikini
How Does Storage Work When you save a file to your computer, where does it go? When you load up a file, where is it coming from? For to many people, the answer is the computer's "memory." But memory is a misnomer, since there is another computer function termed memory. A computer truly "remembers" its information in its storage, which is nearly always composed of one or more hard drive disks.Read more: How Does Computer Storage Work? | eHow.comhttp://www.ehow.com/how-does_5188564_computer-storage-work_.html#ixzz2BOL045hj Called simply "hard drives" for short, these devices are in desktops, laptops and even mobile devices such as iPods. A hard drive functions as a store of information that does not lose its data when it is not powered.Read more: How Does Computer Storage Work? | eHow.comhttp://www.ehow.com/how-does_5188564_computer-storage-work_.html#ixzz2BOLhcKYF
Secondary Data Storage Devices • Hard Disk • Internal • External • CD drives • DVD drives • Flash drives • Holographic • Magnetic • Media Card Readers • Racetrack Memory • Random Access • Solid-State • Wireless Memory Card • Blue-ray Disc • Cloud http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_storage_device
Characteristics of Secondary Storage • The characteristics of Internal or External Secondary Storage provides permanent or nonvolatile storage and a larger capacity than is typically available in a computer’s primary or volatile RAM memory that is unfortunately lost when power to an individuals computer is interrupted ,turned off or experiences a “Head Crash”! • Media - are actual physical material that hold the data and programs • Capacity – measures how much a particular storage medium can hold • Access Speed – measures the amount of time required by the storage device to retrieve data and programs • Storage Devices – are hardware that reads data and programs from storage media. Most also write to storage media http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20062773-263.html
External Storage & Cloud Storage Cloud Storage Cloud computing is a general term for anything that involves delivering hosted services over the Internet. These services are broadly divided into three categories: Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) and Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The name cloud computing was inspired by the cloud symbol that's often used to represent the Internet in flowcharts and diagrams. External Storage • A catch-all term referring to any of several mechanisms for storing data on a client machine (typically within a web browser). Data placed in external storage is isolated for use only by the domain that stored it and persists after the browser is closed. Examples of external storage include cookies, user-Data, external databases, and the external StorageDevices.
Advantages of External Storage Devices • External Storage is the inexpensive solution of storing accurate and accessible data efficiently. In todays world of advance technology external storage devices are engineered to be compact and enabled to handle a higher volume of an individuals data storage needs. In addition, the security parameters of external storage enables the user to prevent intruders from accessing the stored data, because it is usually near by and under the watchful eye of the user 24/7! Inexpensive Accurate Accessible Innovative Efficient Compact Secured Reliable
Advantages of Cloud Storage • In the 21ST Century of Business Technology “Cloud Storage” is likely to become King. In addition, to access to cloud data at anytime or anywhere the data sought is readily available and accessible to the individual user immediately. • Also, though the provider are primarily responsible for security of cloud data, the response from its user are positive, because of the stability and accuracy of cloud storage services that continue to evolve in the 21ST Century! • Accessibility • Stability • Evolving • Dependable • Accurate • Accelerated • Available • Anywhere • Anytime
