Secondary Storage

1. Solid state (flash) storage

   • Disadvantage(Less cost effective in comparison to magnetic because it has a much smaller capacity.It also has a limited read/write lifespan)
   • Advantages(more durable and can read and write data much faster than magnetic storage. it is also more energy effiecient
   • USB stick

2. magnetic storage

   • Disadbvantage(Not as durable due to moving parts and reads/writes data slower in comparison to solid state)
   • Advantages:(Cost effective due to having a larger capacity than solid state)
