Storage devices

The floppy disk

In 1969 the first floppy disk was introduced that can read 8 inch of disk that could store 80kB of data. In 1973, the similar floppy disk with the same size could store 256kB of data and it was possible to write new data again.

The hard drive

The hard drive is still a product that is under constant development. The hard drive that can store 500 GB of data.

The compact disc

The compact disc originates from the laser disc, but it stores less data. A typical CD of today can store 700 MB of data.

Digital Video Disc

A DVD is basically a CD that uses a different kind of laser technology. The laser s wavelength uses 780nm infrared light. A dual layered DVD can store 8.5GB of data.

Universal Serial Bus

USB is a specification to establish communication between devices and user, developed and invented by Ajay Bhatt.

Future: HVD
Blue-Ray and HD DVD two competing formats which basically just is another version of the compact disc that can store even more data thanks to the blue-violet laser technology.
