Storage
DEvices
records items on a storage
medium and retrieves them from
it.

Storage Media
Is the actual physical material that stores programs and data.
Writing
is the process of saving information to storage devices whereas
Reading is the process of accessing information from storage
devices.
Writing of Data
storing data also known as saving-Reading of data = getting our
data back also known as opening.

Considerations for choosing a
Storage Device
1. Storage capacity
2. Brand/make
3. Portability
4. Durability/readability
5. Price/cost
6. Compatibility with system-IDE,
USB, SATA
7. Safety of the media/nature of work
to be stored
8. Data access speed

BACKING UP DATA
Process of copying files, programs and data to a different storage device for
future use. (making of copies of your files, data and information)
A backup is a copy of your original file or data stored on another storage
device.
https://slidesgo.com/
WHY BACK UP DATA?
1. Original data could be accidentally copied over or deleted.
2. Data could be lost due to damage to the original storage device.
3. You could lose your original storage device.
How Are Backups Created?
1. Burning files to a CD
2. Copying files to an external hard-drive
3. Copying the files to another computer
on a network

Forms of computer storage
Primary storage is often referred to as
Secondary storage is a type of storage “memory” and is classified as either
designed to retain data and instructions in volatile or non-volatile. Volatile memory
a relatively permanent form. such as RAM loses data as soon as
the device loses power.
