STORAGE DEVICES

4 Most Important Characteristics of Storage Materials:

• Speed and Access Time
• How fast information can be taken from or stored into the computer memory device's medium.
• Cost
• Memory goes larger and larger as price goes cheaper and cheaper.
• Capacity
• The amount of information that can be stored on the medium.
• Type Of Access
• Sequential
• Obtained by proceeding through the storage medium from the beginning until the designated area is reached. (as in magnetic tape)
• Random Access
• Direct access.

So that's it! :)
For more questions just ask me, and if I can't answer the question I'm gonna ask some help from our oh-so-reliable teacher Sir Tom. :)
