Working+With+Storage+Devices

There are just a few main Storage Devices although over the years there have been quite a few years. There has just about always been what is known as a hard drive. This pretty much always and should always come with your computer and holds all of the memory in your computer unless you save it elsewhere(not including RAM of course) One of the earlier forms of extra space for your data was floppy drives which for the longest time couldn't even save a medium size word doc of today.

Then there are a couple bigger old forms of extra memory not really used as much now such as Tape drives which have a large amount of memory that could be held with a pretty fast transfer speed. (For it's time, it was only about 7.2GB hr.) Then there is Zip drives which were essentially just larger floppy disks. There are Jaz Drives which had an okay amount of memory(a bit more then Zip drive but much less maximum memory then a Tape Drive.) with at the time a pretty good transfer speed(5.5Mb) Now we have focused on Memory cards and flash drives. With a quite high transfer speed massive portability/accessibility/compatability and a decent memory hold considering the other pros they are super common and probably the most used forms of extra memory. Then if you need good transfer speed and large amounts of memory we are to the point were there are multiple 3TB external hard drives. SeaGate 3TB External HDD(Hard Disk Drive)
