secondary storage

secondary storage

1. magnetic storage

   • advantage
     • cost effective due to having a larger capacity then solid state
       • disadvantage
         • not as durable due to moving parts and reads/writes data slower then solid state

2. optical storage

   • advantage
     • cost effective and very portable
       • disadvantage
         • not very durable and has limitited capacity

3. solid state storage

   • advantage
     • more energy efficient, more durable and can read and write data much faster then magnetic storage
       • disadvantage
         • less cost effective in comparison to magnetic because it has a much smaller megnetic capacity and has limited read/write lifespawn.
