In Computing , a data storage device—as the name implies—is a device for Storing Data . It usually refers to permanent (non-volatile) storage, that is, the data will remain stored when power is removed from the device; unlike semiconductor RAM . Recording can be done Mechanically , Magnetically , or Optically . A typical way to classify data storage media is to consider its shape and type of movement (or non-movement) relative to the read/write device(s) of the storage apparatus. The following is a list of storage media, roughly sorted descending from modern to older/archaic media.
Bekenstein (2003) foresees that miniaturization might lead to the invention of devices that store Bit s on a single Atom . See Also: computer storage REFERENCES
