Understanding storage devices

In the world of computing, there is a very essential part that can never be underrated. Once all the mathematical and computational operations are done, this information needs to be stored in a location for easy reference, archiving, and audit purposes. Storage devices were invented for this very task.

Storage devices are designed to keep data that can be retrieved at any time it is needed. However, there are other parameters to consider when we look at storing information. We need to ensure that the information is stored in the proper format, and we need to ensure that the information retains its integrity. This means that if we store A and want to retrieve it at a later date, we should get it exactly how it was stored. The A we get at a later date should be no different to the A we stored previously.

The security of the information we store is also crucial. The durability of the storage device is extremely critical. This will give us confidence...
