Storage (slide 1 of 5)
A storage medium is the physical material on

which a computer keeps data, information,
programs, and applications
Cloud storage keeps information on servers on

the Internet, and the actual media on which the
files are stored are transparent to the user

• A storage device is the hardware that records and/or retrieves

items to and from storage media
Reading is the process
of transferring items
from a storage medium
into memory
Writing is the process of

transferring items from
memory to a storage
medium
6
• Capacity is the number of bytes a storage medium can hold
7

• Access time measures:

– The amount of time it takes
a storage device to locate
an item on a storage
medium
– The time required to deliver
an item from memory to
the processor

Hard Drives (slide 1 of 6)
• A hard disk, also called a

hard disk drive (HDD)
contains one or more
inflexible, circular platters
that use magnetic particles
to store data, instructions,
and information

• The storage capacity of hard disks varies and is determined by:

– The number of platters the hard disk contains
– The composition of the magnetic coating on the platters
– Whether the disk uses longitudinal or perpendicular recording
– Density
10
• Formatting is the process of dividing the disk into tracks and sectors
11
• Characteristics of a hard disk include:
Tracks Sectors Platters
Read/write Revolutions
Form factor
head per minute
12
• An SSD (solid state drive) is a flash memory storage device that contains
its own processor to manage its storage
• An SSD (solid state drive) has several advantages over traditional
(magnetic) hard disks:
Faster access Faster transfer Quieter

More durable Lighter weight
times rates operation
Less power Less heat Defragmentation

Longer life
consumption generation not required

• An external hard drive is a separate freestanding storage device

that connects with a cable to a USB port or other port on a
computer or mobile device
15
Portable Flash Memory Storage (slide 1 of 3)
• A memory card is a removable flash memory storage device

Cloud Storage
• Cloud storage is an Internet service that provides storage to

computer or mobile device users
19
Optical Discs (slide 1 of 4)
• An optical disc consists of a flat, round, portable disc made of

metal, plastic, and lacquer that is written and read by a laser
20
• Optical discs commonly store items in a

single track that spirals from the center
of the disc to the edge of the disc
• Track is divided into evenly sized
sectors

can read but not write on or erase
A DVD-R or DVD+R are competing DVD-recordable WORM

formats, on which users can write once but not erase
DVD-RW, DVD+RW, and DVD+RAM are competing DVD-

rewritable formats that users can write on multiple times
23
Enterprise Storage (slide 1 of 4)
• Enterprise hardware allows large organizations to manage and

store data and information using devices intended for heavy
use, maximum efficiency, and maximum availability
– RAID duplicates data, instructions, and information to improve data
reliability
24
• Network attached storage (NAS) is a server that is placed on a

network with the sole purpose of providing storage to users,
computers, and devices attached to the network
25
• A storage area network (SAN) is a high-speed network with the

sole purpose of providing storage to other attached servers
26
• Tape is a magnetically coated ribbon of

plastic capable of storing large amounts of
data and information
• A tape drive reads and writes data and
information on a magnetic tape
27
Other Types of Storage (slide 1 of 3)
• A magnetic stripe card has a magnetic stripe that contains

information
• A smart card stores data on an integrated circuit embedded in
the card

• The RFID tag consists of an antenna and a memory chip that contains the
information to be transmitted via radio waves
• An RFID reader reads the radio signal and transfers the information to a
computer or computing device

29
• An NFC-enabled device contains an NFC chip

• An NFC tag contains a chip and an antenna that contains information
to be transmitted
• Most NFC tags are self-adhesive
