Secondary Storage

Secondary Storage

1. Solid State

   • Pros
     • More durable
       • It is more durable as it has no moving parts meaning it is much more portable and durable that magnitic storage
         • Keywords: Magnetic, Portable, Durability + Comparison
     • Faster Data Transfer Speed
       • It has a faster data transfer speed (read/write speed) compared to Magnetic Storage
         • Keywords: Magnetic, Data Transfer Speed, Read/Write Speed + Comparison
   • Cons
     • Less Cost Effective / Smaller capacity
       • It is less cost effective compared to Magnetic as it has a smaller capacity. It would be better value if it had a larger capacity.
         • Keywords: Magnetic, Capacity, Cost Effective + Comparison

2. Optical

   • Pros
     • Cost effective
       • It is cost effective as you can get rather a lot of MB and GB for under a pound
         • Keywords: Cost Effective
     • Very portable
   • Cons

3. Magnetic Storage

   • Pros
     • Cost Effective
       • It is cost effective due to having a larger capacity than Solid State
         • Keywords: Capacity, Solid State + Comparison
   • Cons
     • Not as Durable
       • It has many moving parts so it would be less durable meaning that you wouldn't want to move around with it too much making it less portable compared to Solid State
         • Keywords: Durable, Portable + Comparison
     • Slower data transfer speed
       • It has slower data transfer speed compared to Solid State.
         • Keywords: Solid State + Comparison

4. Secondary Storage keeps storage permanantly. It will store the data until the user deletes it
