what is data storage devices? and can you give me 3 examples?

Question

thanks!!

Answer 1

To store info. from your computer, I've found that the easiest and most compact device is a Flash Drive aka a 'memory stick'. This device has a built in program that only takes minutes to install, is small, comes with a cord so that you can wear it around your neck, and plugs easily into any USB port. As with any storage device, the amount of storage varies as does the price. I recommend nothing less than 512mb but believe that 1.0mb will hold more than most people are trying to utilize. My best buy came from Sam's Club. Other examples are a CD or Floppy. A Floppy is nearly extinct and in today's systems, you would have to order as an option and pay extra. Also, Floppy space is much more limited in size.

Examples Of Data Storage Devices

Answer 3

In computing, a data storage device—as the name implies—is a device for storing data. It usually refers to permanent (non-volatile) storage, that is, the data will remain stored when power is removed from the device; unlike semiconductor RAM. Recording can be done mechanically, magnetically, or optically.

A typical way to classify data storage media is to consider its shape and type of movement (or non-movement) relative to the read/write device(s) of the storage apparatus. The following is a list of storage media, roughly sorted descending from modern to older/archaic media.

optical disc (cd),hard disk, tapes,floppys

* Flash memory/memory card (solid state semiconductor

Answer 5

Data storage device is where you can store your data permanently. Like, Hard Disk Drive, CD-ROM, Backup Tape Drive.

Answer 6

A data storage device stores data.

There are two types: persistant and volitile. Persistant data storage devices hold their data long term, while volitile devices lose everything when the power shuts off. Volitile are always faster.

Here are some common ones (talking only about computers here):

Persistant:
Hard Drive
FLASH memory (EEPROM)
Tape (lol)
A CD/DVD

Volitile:
RAM memory (system main memory)

Answer 7

data storage is a device for data storing .. a floppy disk with 1.44 megabye or an Ide or Satta or Satta II or even SCSI ( diffrent types of Hard disk ) a dvd or cd .. a tape all of this things are data storages ..
there are some special data storages for network usages wthi trabytes of freespace like a nas data storage that is a package with numbers of hard disks ....

Answer 8

In 60 years who's conscious what storage technologies will be in use or certainly what is going to nonetheless be supported. i'd pick putting your records onto both a DVD or CD disk and archiving it.

Answer 9

They hold data for you such as pictures, songs, movies, documents, spreadsheets etc...
Types are: Your hard drive, your cd rom, a thumb drive and an external hard drive.

Answer 10

Hard drive, tape drive, CD-ROM / DVD-ROM, portable flash memory, etc.

Hope you get an A.
