storage technologies

Storage technologies refer to the methods and devices used to store digital data. The most common types include hard drives, which use spinning disks to read and write data; solid-state drives (SSDs), which use flash memory for faster performance; and cloud storage, which allows data to be saved online for easy access from anywhere. Additionally, optical storage (like CDs and DVDs) and USB flash drives are used for transferring and storing smaller amounts of data. Each technology varies in speed, capacity, durability, and cost, catering to different needs for personal or business use.
