secondary storage

secondary storage

1. solid state

   • speakers
     • watches
   • more durable and can read and write faster
     • less cost effective comparison to magnetic
       • read and write lifespan (short)

2. magnetic storage

   • floppy disk
     • hard disk drive
       • cost effective due to having a larger capacity than solid state
         • not as durable due to moving parts
           • reads and writes slower in comparison to solid state

3. optical storage

   • video cassettes
     • audio cassettes
   • cost effective and portable
     • less cost effective comparison to magnetic because of a much smaller capacity
       • limited capacity
