Computer Storage Devices

 

A storage device is necessary for recording data. One of the most important tasks performed by computers is storing data. Different types of devices are used to store data. There are three types of data storage, namely primary data storage, secondary storage devices and tertiary storage devices. The classification of computer storage devices is based on the task performed by the device. The primary storage device is commonly called random access memory, while the secondary storage device is the hard disk. The tertiary storage devices are removable mass storage devices. The amount of data stored on the primary is less and is volatile in nature, while the secondary storage device has better storage space and also is non volatile in nature. Let's see the types of removable mass storage devices.

Floppy Discs

This is a magnetic storage device, which is set in a square plastic shell. They are available in different sizes, like 8 inches, 5 ¼ inches and 3 ½ inches. In the initial days floppy discs were very popular.

Compact Discs

Previously compact discs (abbreviated as CD) were used only for recording and storing audio files. These discs can store data for a long time. The data is stored on the CDs in optical format.

Digital Versatile Discs

The format of storing data in the digital versatile discs (DVD) is similar to that of a compact disc. The difference lies in the storage capacity. There is six times more storage space in the DVDs as compared to the CDs. Like the CDs, DVDs are also used as backup device.

Flash Memory

This storage device for a computer is similar to the read only memory. However, there is a big difference between the flash memory and the ROM. Data from the flash memory can be erased in a matter of few seconds from the flash drives, which is not the case with the ROM. At the same time, the data can be changed as required.

Blu-ray Discs

A blu-ray disc (abbreviated as BD), is used for high-definition video storage. It is often used by gamers. Blu-ray discs are similar to the CDs and DVDs in their looks. It is the memory space which makes all the difference between CDs, DVDs and BDs. А Blu-ray disc is an optical storage device.

USB Flash Drives

A USB flash drive is a portable drive that is often the size of your thumb that connects to the computer USB port. The drive has a small casing that stores the flash memory connected to a USB connection that is plugged into the USB port on your computer. Today, flash memory has started replacing magnetic media as it becomes cheaper and more efficient solution. Unlike a hard drive the flash drive only contains an integrated circuit memory board capable of storing information and has no movable parts. Flash drives are non-volatile and data can be rewritten on them.

Memory Cards

Data is stored in digital format on the memory cards. They can be used in various electronic devices from hand held computers, mobile phones, cameras, etc. They are also rewritable. Although they are small in size, they can store a high amount of data.

With the constant advancement in technology, new storage devices are constantly getting added to the storage devices list. Along with the new devices, there is advancement that is being carried out to increase the access rate and the capacity of the data stored.
