1.3 storage

1. secondary storage

   • Auxiliary memory, also known as auxiliary storage, secondary storage, secondary memory or external memory, is a non-volatile memory (does not lose stored data when the device is powered down) that is not directly accessible by the CPU, because it is not accessed via the input/output channels (it is an external device).
   • A digital video camera need secondary storage for long term/ permanent/non-volatile storage. Also for transferring the videos to a different device

2. Optical Storage

   • Optical storage is the storage of data on an optically readable medium. Data is recorded by making marks in a pattern that can be read back with the aid of light, usually a beam of laser light precisely focused on a spinning optical disc.

3. Magnetic storage

   • Magnetic storage or magnetic recording is the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetisable material to store data and is a form of non-volatile memory.

4. Solid State

   • Employed in myriad products, including mobile devices, iPods, cameras, laptops and desktop computers, solid state drives (SSDs) are faster than hard disks because there is zero latency (no read/write head to move).
   • Light weight, Portable, Durable

5. Capacity
