Magnetic storage
Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetization on a magnetically coated surface to store information. Magnetic storage is non-volatile. The information is accessed using one or more read/write heads. Since the read/write head only covers a part of the surface, magnetic storage is sequential access and must seek, cycle or both. In modern computers, the magnetic surface will take these forms:
Magnetic disk Floppy disk, used for off-line storageHard disk, used for secondary storageMagnetic tape, used for tertiary and off-line storage
Semiconductor storage
Semiconductor memory uses semiconductor-based integrated circuits to store information. A semiconductor memory chip may contain millions of tiny transistors or capacitors. Both volatile and non-volatile forms of semiconductor memory exist. In modern computers, primary storage almost exclusively consists of dynamic volatile semiconductor memory or dynamic random access memory. Since the turn of the century, a type of non-volatile semiconductor memory known as flash memory has steadily gained share as off-line storage for home computers. Non-volatile semiconductor memory is also used for secondary storage in various advanced electronic devices and specialized computers.
Optical disc storage Optical disc storage uses tiny pits etched on the surface of a circular disc to store information, and reads this information by illuminating the surface with a laser diode and observing the reflection. Optical disc storage is non-volatile and sequential access. The following forms are currently in common use:
CD, CD-ROM, DVD: Read only storage, used for mass distribution of digital information (music, video, computer programs)CD-R, DVD-R, DVD+R: Write once storage, used for tertiary and off-line storageCD-RW, DVD-RW, DVD+RW, DVD-RAM: Slow write, fast read storage, used for tertiary and off-line storageBlu-rayHD DVD The following form have also been proposed:
HVDPhase-change Dual Magneto-optical disc storage
The information is read optically and written by combining magnetic and optical methods
e.g. LS-120, ZIP, Jazz, SparQ…
