2. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

   Off-line storage is computer data storage on a medium or a device that is not under the control of a processing unit. [9] The medium is recorded, usually in a secondary or tertiary storage device, and then physically removed or disconnected. It must be inserted or connected by a human operator before a computer can access it again.

3. Comparison of popular optical data-storage systems - Wikipedia

   It was resolved with both surviving however: DVD-R predominating for stand-alone DVD recorders and players, and (for computers) most DVD devices being engineered as dual format, to be compatible with both. As of 2007 DVD is the de facto standard for pre-recorded movies, and popular storage of data beyond the capacity of CD.

4. Magnetic-tape data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-tape_data_storage

   Bytes per inch (BPI) is the metric for the density at which data is stored on magnetic media. The term BPI can refer to bits per inch, [18] but more often refers to bytes per inch. [19] The term BPI can mean bytes per inch when the tracks of a particular format are byte-organized, as in nine-track tapes. [20]

5. 5D optical data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/5D_optical_data_storage

   5D optical data storage (also branded as Superman memory crystal, [1] a reference to the Kryptonian memory crystals from the Superman franchise) is an experimental nanostructured glass for permanently recording digital data using a femtosecond laser writing process. [2]

6. Non-volatile memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-volatile_memory

   Non-volatile memory is typically used for the task of secondary storage or long-term persistent storage. The most widely used form of primary storage today [as of?] is a volatile form of random access memory (RAM), meaning that when the computer is shut down, anything contained in RAM is lost. However, most forms of non-volatile memory have ...

7. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

   A solid-state drive (SSD) is a type of solid-state storage device that uses integrated circuits to store data persistently. It is sometimes called semiconductor storage device, solid-state device, or solid-state disk. [1] [2] SSDs rely on non-volatile memory, typically NAND flash, to store data in memory cells. The performance and endurance of ...

8. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_storage

   Magnetic storage media, primarily hard disks, are widely used to store computer data as well as audio and video signals. In the field of computing, the term magnetic storage is preferred and in the field of audio and video production, the term magnetic recording is more commonly used. The distinction is less technical and more a matter of ...

9. Ultra Density Optical - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra_Density_Optical

   UDO optical disc storage media was developed as a replacement for the 9.1 GB Magneto-optical digital storage medium. The Ultra Density Optical was first announced by Sony on November 1, 2000. [2] It was later adopted with heavy investment by Plasmon, a UK technology company with extensive experience with computer archival backup systems and ...
