10. storage

    • • there are either one or many "platters" with a magnetic coating on both sides spinning at 10,000 RPM to access any data at any moment
    • • instead of a disk used in this, it uses a memory chip with up to 10 years "shelf life" with the best offering 100,000 rewrites & erases
    • • now we are getting in to slightly more complicated territory, the ROM storage, standing for Read Only Memory, this sort of chip allows for one writing of a single file, in the betas of some ROMs they are rewritable through the use of UV light, some stickers protect the data and with the use of a Ultra Violet light source, allow for instant deletion of code and rewriting of the code to fix bugs (see beta game catrtridges)
