Secondary Storage

Secondary Storage

1. magnetic storage

   • It is cost effective compared to solid state therefore it is cheap
     • It has a much larger capacity compared to solid state therefore it can store lots on it
   • Not as durable compared to solid state therefore it can break easily
     • It has a slower read/write speed compared to solid state therefore it can't process data that quickly
   • Seagate 3TB HDD

2. Solid State Storage

   • SanDisk SSD
   • More durable compared to magnetic therefore it can last for a longer amount of time
     • It can read/write information faster compared to magnetic therefore it can load information quicker
   • It is less cost effective compared to magnetic therefore it is more expensive
     • It has a much smaller capacity compared to magnetic therefore it can't store that much

3. Optical Storage

   • It is more portable compared to magnetic therefore it can be used on other devices easily
     • It is more cost effective compared to solid state therefore it costs less
   • It is less durable compared to solid state therefore it can break easily
     • It has a much smaller capacity compared to magnetic therefore it can't store that much on them
   • Blu-ray Disk

4. Non-Volatile

   • It is needed in a computer system to store your programs

5. Volatile

   • It deletes programs when the computer is turned off
