Secondary Storage

Secondary Storage

1. Optical Storage

   • Avantages
     • Cost Effective, compared to solid state which isnt cost effective.
     • Very portable, compared to magnetic storage due to its moving parts.
   • Dis-Advantages
     • Not re usable
     • Old disc's might not be able to be read

2. Solid State

   • Advantages
     • More durable, compared to magnetic which isn't as durable
     • It can read and write data faster, compared to magnetic which doesnt do it as fast .
   • Dis-Advantage
     • Less cost effective compared to magnetic which is very cost effective
     • Smaller capacity compared to magnetic which has a large capacity.

3. Magnetic storage

   • Advantages
     • Cost effective, compared to solid state which is expensive.
     • Larger capacity, compared to solid state which hasn't got the biggest capacity
   • Dis-advantages
     • Not as durable, compared to solid state which is very durable
     • Read and write speed is slower compared to solid state which has a good read and write speed
