2. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

   The total amount of stored information that a storage device or medium can hold. It is expressed as a quantity of bits or bytes (e.g. 10.4 megabytes). Memory storage density The compactness of stored information. It is the storage capacity of a medium divided with a unit of length, area or volume (e.g. 1.2 megabytes per square inch).

3. Machine-readable medium and data - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-readable_medium...

   Machine-readable data must be structured data. [1]Attempts to create machine-readable data occurred as early as the 1960s. At the same time that seminal developments in machine-reading and natural-language processing were releasing (like Weizenbaum's ELIZA), people were anticipating the success of machine-readable functionality and attempting to create machine-readable documents.

4. Stored-program computer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stored-program_computer

   The storage medium for the program instructions was the flying-spot store, a photographic plate read by an optical scanner that had a speed of about one microsecond access time. [33] For temporary data, the system used a barrier-grid electrostatic storage tube .

5. Mount (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_(computing)

   They allow programs and data to be transferred between machines without a physical connection. Common examples include USB mass storage (flash drives), memory cards, CD-ROMs, and DVDs. Utilities have therefore been developed to detect the presence and availability of a medium and then mount that medium without any user intervention.

6. File system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system

   The physical file system layer provides relatively low-level access to a storage device (e.g. disk). It reads and writes data blocks, provides buffering and other memory management and controls placement of blocks in specific locations on the storage medium. This layer uses device drivers or channel I/O to drive the storage device. [7]

7. Data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_storage

   The phonograph cylinder is a storage medium. The phonograph may be considered a storage device especially as machines of this vintage were able to record on blank cylinders. On a reel-to-reel tape recorder (Sony TC-630), the recorder is data storage equipment and the magnetic tape is a data storage medium.

8. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

   An illustration of the write amplification phenomenon in flash-based storage devices. Over time, advancements in central processing unit (CPU) speed has driven innovation in secondary storage technology. [7] One such innovation, flash memory, is a non-volatile storage medium that can be electrically erased and reprogrammed.

9. Glossary of backup terms - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glossary_of_backup_terms

   single file or storage device containing the complete contents and structure representing a data storage medium or device, such as a hard drive, tape drive, floppy disk, CD/DVD/BD, or USB flash drive. Full backup. a backup of all (selected) files on the system.
