Portable Storage Solutions Portable storage—a la flash drives and
mini hard drives—might not be the sexiest technology on the market, but it is one of the must-haves of this millennium.
These wildly underappreciated these devices let you take the files—documents, MP3s, PowerPoint presentations, and photos—you want with you anywhere at anytime.
The best part : They're affordable, extremely easy to use, and incredibly practical.

Increase in storage capacity
Data storage devices have very different capacities. Over time the capacity has increased which has allowed for more
data to be stored:
Data Storage Capacity
Direct (Random Access)• Stores files so that they can instantly be accessed• No need to search through files to get to the one you want• Example: DVD, CD ROM, Blu-ray, external hard drive, flash drive
Type of Access
Serial (Sequential Access)• Files are stored one by one in a sequence• Must search through the files one by one until you get to the
one you want.• Example: VHS tape, Cassette Tape, Magnetic Tape
Start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 End 10
Start 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 End 10
Type of Access
Main Memory• Sometimes known as Internal Memory or primary memory.• Includes RAM and ROM• Usually used to store data temporarily (in the case of RAM).• Usually used to store data while it is being processed by the CPU.• Is volatile – means data will be lost if computer is turned of.
Backing Storage• Backing storage some known as secondary storage.• Name for all other storage devices which are part of a computer like
hard drive.• Usually used to store data over a long time.• Usually used to store application software, operating system software,
files etc. • Is Non-volatile - Means data will not be lost of computer is turned
off.
Main Memory Vs Backing Storage
BackupBackup means making one or more copies of your data in a different storage medium.
Why?• You could delete a file by accident• Your computer could break down• Your computer could get infected by a virus which could edit
data• Your laptop is stolen or becomes damaged.• Data could be corrupted by hackers.
• Most businesses use computers to store very important data (customer records, financial information, designs for products, etc.)
• If this data is lost, then this would cause disruption to the business. Backing-up business data is essential.

What do you mean by external storage devices…???
External storage devices are the devices that temporarily store information for transporting from computer to computer.
Such devices are not permanently fixed inside a computer or can be defined as “ storage devices that are not a part of computer. ” ( means Poratable devices ).
05/01/2023 Dr Shashwat Jani. 99099 44160.
12
Advantages of External Storage Devices :
1. Provides additional storage other than that available in computer.
2. Data can be transported easily from one place to another.
3. It is useful to store software and data that is not needed frequently.
4. External storage also works as data back up.5. This back up may prove useful at times such as
fire or theft because important data is not lost.

Since first appearing on the market in late 2000, as with virtually all computer memory devices, storage capacities have risen while prices have dropped.
As of November 2016, flash drives with anywhere from 8 to 256 GB are frequently sold, and less frequently 512 GB and 1 TB units.
Storage capacities as large as 2 TB are planned, with steady improvements in size and price per capacity expected.
Some allow up to 100,000 write/erase cycles, depending on the exact type of memory chip used, and have a 10-year shelf storage time.

USB flash drives are often used for the same purposes for which floppy disks or CDs were once used, i.e., for storage, data back-up and transfer of computer files.
They are smaller, faster, have thousands of times more capacity, and are more durable and reliable because they have no moving parts.
Additionally, they are immune to electromagnetic interference (unlike floppy disks), and are unharmed by surface scratches (unlike CDs).
Until about 2005, most desktop and laptop computers were supplied with floppy disk drives in addition to USB ports, but floppy disk drives have become obsolete after widespread adoption of USB ports and the larger USB drive capacity compared to the 1.44 MB 3.5-inch floppy disk.

Duration of Storage• Estimation of flash memory endurance
is a challenging subject that depends on the Single level cell SLC/MLC/TLC memory type, size of the flash memory chips, and actual usage pattern.
• As a result, a USB flash drive can last from a few days to several hundred years.
05/01/2023 Dr Shashwat Jani. 99099 44160.
41
Conveniences• Use little power, have no fragile moving parts, and
for most capacities are small and light. • Data stored on flash drives is resistant to mechanical
shock, magnetic fields, scratches and dust. These properties make them suitable for transporting data from place to place and keeping the data readily at hand.
• Specially manufactured flash drives are available that have a tough rubber or metal casing designed to be waterproof and virtually "unbreakable". These flash drives retain their memory after being submerged in water, and even through a machine wash…!!!
