    THE EXAMPLES OF DIGITAL

    DATA STORAGE DEVICES


    DIGITAL DATA STORAGE DEVICES
    10 EXAMPLES
    1. HARD DRIVE DISK
    2. FLOPPY DISK
    3. TAPE
    4. COMPACT DISK (CD)
    5. DVD AND BLUE-RAY DISCS
    6. USB FLASH DRIVE
    7. SECURE DIGITAL CARD (SD CARD)
    8. SOLID STATE DRIVE (SSD)
    9. CLOUD STORAGE
    10. PUNCH CARD
    HARD DISK DRIVE

    • A hard disk drive (also known as a hard drive, HD, or


    HDD) can be found installed in almost every desktop and
    laptop. It stores files for the operating system and
    software programs, as well as users document, such as
    photographs, text files, and audio.
    It has 44 pins.
    FLOPPY DISK

    • Also known as a diskette, floppy, or FD, the floppy disk is


    another type of storage medium that uses magnetic
    storage technology to store information.
    It has 34 pins.
    TAPE
    • In the past, magnetic tape was often used for digital data
    storage, because of its low cost and ability to store large
    amount of data. The technology essentially consisted of a
    magnetically thin coated piece of plastic wrapped around
    wheels.
    COMPACT DISK
    • The compact disc, known for short as a CD, is a form of
    optical storage, a technology which employs laser and
    light to read a write data.
    DVD AND BLU-RAY DISCS
    • The DVD (digital versatile disc) and Blu-ray disc (BD) are
    formats of digital optical disc data storage which have
    susperseded compact discs, mainly because of their much
    greater storage capacity.
    • The blu-ray disc, for example, can restore 25 GB of data
    on a single-layer disc and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc.
    USB FLASH DRIVE
    • Also known as a thumb drive, pen drive, flash-drive,
    memory stick, jump drive, and USB stick, the USB flash
    drive is a flash memory data storage device that
    incorporates an integrated USB interface. Flash memory is
    generally more efficient and reliable than optical media,
    being smaller faster and possessing much greater storage
    capacity, as well as being more durable due to lack of
    moving parts.
    It has 4 pins.
    SECURE DIGITAL CARD (SD
    CARD)
    • A common type of memory card, SD cards are used in
    multiple electronics devices, including digital cameras and
    mobile phones.
    It has 9 pins.
    SOLID STATE DRIVE (SSD)
    • A solid state drive uses flash memory to store data and is
    sometimes used in devices such as netbooks , laptop and
    desktop computers instead of a traditional hard disk drive.
    It has 22 pins.
    CLOUD STORAGE
    • With users increasingly operating multiple devices in
    multiple places, many are turning to online and cloud
    computing solutions. Cloud computing basically involves
    accessing services over a network via a collection of
    remote servers, In practice it can provide tremendous
    storage solutions for devices that are connected to the
    internet.
    PUNCH CARD
    • Were a common method of data storage used in the early
    computers. Basically, they consisted of a paper card with
    punched of perforated holes that have been created by
    hand or machine. The cards are entered into the computer
    to enable the storage and accessing of information.
