Secondary Storage Device

Secondary Storage Device

1. Solid state

   • Lower capacity than magnetic
     • Therefore as a solid state has lower capacity. It can't store has many files
   • Faster read/write speed than magnetic
     • Therefore if it is fast, programs will load faster.
   • Used in portable devices
     • This is because if you drop it, as it has no moving parts, it will be less likely to break.

2. Magnetic storage

   • Highest capacity.
     • This means you can save more programs
     • This shows that magnetic storage can hold more data. Therefore you can store more files and documents.
   • It is the slowest read/write speed
     • This means that it will take a while to load
   • Not use in portable devices because if you drop it (because it has moving parts) it will break more easily
     • Therefore as it is not portable it can not break it unless you move it and drop it.

3. Optical storage

   • Not durable
   • Portable
     • There for as its portable, you can it anywhere as it won't break as easy
   • Can be played on lots of devices
     • This shows how portable it is as it can be played on devices.
