Data storage

By: Kovács Levente

Whats mean?
Data storage is the collective methods and
technologies that capture and retain digital
information on electromagnetic, optical or silicon-
based storage media. Storage is a key component
of digital devices, as consumers and businesses
have come to rely on it to preserve information
ranging from personal photos to business-critical
information.
How data storage works
Digital information is written to target storage
media through the use of software commands.
The smallest unit of measure in a computer
memory is a bit, described with a binary value of
0 or 1, according to the level of electrical voltage
contained in a single capacitor. Eight bits make up
one byte.
Types of data storige in this ppt
• EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
• HARD DISK
• MP3 PLAYER
• SERVER
• THE INTERNET
• USB FLASH DRIVE
EXTERNAL HARD DRIVE
External hard disk drives typically connect via
USB. Are usually available as assembled
integrated products but may be also assembled
by combining an external enclosure (with USB or
other interface) with a separately purchased
drive. They are available in 2.5-inch and 3.5-inch
sizes
HARD DISK
A modern HDD records data by magnetizing a thin film
of ferromagnetic material on both sides of a disk.
Sequential changes in the direction of magnetization
represent binary data bits. The data is read from the
disk by detecting the transitions in magnetization.
User data is encoded using an encoding scheme, such
as run-length limited encoding, which determines how
the data is represented by the magnetic transitions.
MP3 PLAYER
In 1981, Kane Kramer filed for a UK patent for the IXI,
the first Digital Audio Player. The player was as big as a
credit card and had a small LCD screen, navigation and
volume buttons and would have held at least 8MB of
data in a solid-state bubble memory chip.
MP3 was introduced as an audio coding standard in
1994. It was based on several audio data compression
techniques, including the modified discrete cosine
transform, FFT and psychoacoustic methods.
SERVER
Storage servers are also known as File servers. A
type of server that is used to store, secure,
manage and access digital data and files is known
as storage server. It enables storage and access to
small and large amount of data over a shared
network or via the internet.
INTERNET OR CLOUD STORAGE
Cloud storage is a cloud computing model in
which data is stored on remote servers accessed
from the internet, or "cloud." It is maintained,
operated and managed by a cloud storage service
provider on a storage servers that are built on
virtualization techniques.
USB FLASH DRIVE
USB flash drives are often used for storage, data
back-up and transfer of computer files. Compared
with floppy disks or CDs, they are smaller, faster,
have significantly more capacity, and are more
durable due to a lack of moving parts. Additionally,
they are immune to electromagnetic interference
(unlike floppy disks), and are unharmed by surface
scratches (unlike CDs).
