Backing Storage
Backing Storage Devices are hardware which is used to store programs and data permanently onto Backing Storage Media.
Computers need backing storage because data in Main Memory is lost when the computer is switched off.

Magnetic Tape
Still used to hold high quality audio.Now widely used as a backup system for
computer data.Capacity depends on the length
of tape but usually between 10Gb and 100Gb.
Data is often compressed.

Floppy Disk
Plastic coated with a magnetic material.Easily damaged by heat, magnetism etc –
data should be backed up.Can be write protected - stops accidental
over-writing.Capacity id 1.44Mb.

Hard Disk
Hard disks covered in magnetic material.
Several disks in a platter.
Rotate very fast.Read/Write heads
copy data to disk and read from it.

Hard Disks
If heads collide with the disk, this is called crashing.
This could cause all data to be lost.
Hold 40Gb – 1Tb

CD ROM
Read Only – can’t be written to. Music CDs
Surface of the disk has Pits and Lands.
A laser shines on these and the reflected light is interpreted as 1 or 0.
Can hold 650 – 700Mb

DVD-ROM
Read only – can’t be written to.
Same technology as CD.
Capacity: 4.7 – 17 Gb.Tracks of Pits &
Lands closer together – smaller pits & lands.

CD – Recordable (CD-R)
Data is written to the disk using a high powered laser.
This high powered laser creates the Pits & Lands.
A lower powered laser is used for playback.
Can only be written to once.Same capacity as a CD-ROM, 650 –
700Mb

USB Flash Drives
Stands for Universal Serial Bus. They are solid state devices – they have no
moving parts.They use Flash ROM which can be recorded
to thousands of times.Capacity between 2Gb – 128Gb.
