  • Magneto-Optical Drives, Flash Memory Devices, and Tape Drives Are Useful Supplements to Primary Storage
    13 0789729741 ch12 7/15/03 4:11 PM Page 663 CHAPTER 12 High-Capacity Removable Storage 13 0789729741 ch12 7/15/03 4:11 PM Page 664 664 Chapter 12 High-Capacity Removable Storage The Role of Removable-Media Drives Since the mid-1980s, the primary storage device used by computers has been the hard disk drive. However, for data backup, data transport between computers, and temporary storage, secondary storage devices such as high-capacity removable media drives, floptical drives, magneto-optical drives, flash memory devices, and tape drives are useful supplements to primary storage. Pure optical storage—such as CD-R, CD-RW, DVD-RAM, DVD+RW, DVD-RW, and others—is covered in Chapter 13, “Optical Storage.” These types of drives can also be used as a supplement to hard disk storage as well as for pri- mary storage. The options for purchasing removable devices vary. Some removable-media drives use media as small as a quarter or your index finger, whereas others use larger media up to 5 1/4''. Most popular removable- storage drives today have capacities that range from as little as 16MB to as much as 100GB or more. These drives offer fairly speedy performance and the capability to store anything from a few data files or less frequently used programs to complete hard disk images on a removable disk or tape. The next two sections examine the primary roles of these devices. Extra Storage As operating systems and applications continue to grow in size and features, more and more storage space is needed for these programs as well as for the data they create.
