STORAGE DEVICES

Storage devices are used to store data for the long term and remain intact even after the power is turned off. Common storage devices include hard drives, portable hard drives, optical discs, NAS (Network-attached Storage), magnetic tapes, ROM, USB flash drives, and more.

Hard Drive – A long-term data storage device that prevents data loss after shutdown

A hard drive, also called a hard disk drive, is one of the storage devices used to store data for a long time and prevent data loss after the power is turned off. This is a long-term data storage device, from operating systems to personal documents.

Hard drives use two common connection standards: IDE (Integrated Drive Electronics) with a data transfer speed of about 100MB/s, and SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) with higher speeds ranging from 150MB/s to 300MB/s. SATA is often preferred due to its faster data transfer performance and is commonly used in most computers.

HDD Hard Drive

An HDD hard drive is a traditional hard drive and operates as follows: Inside an HDD, there is a rotating magnetic disk made from aluminum alloy and coated with a magnetic material. To read and write data, the drive uses a spindle motor to rotate the magnetic disk. At the same time, electronic circuits are used to control the read/write head, ensuring the head stays in the correct position on the disk while it rotates.
When reading data, the read head decodes information from the magnetic surface of the disk. When writing data, the write head records information onto the magnetic surface of the disk. This allows data to be stored for a long time and prevents data loss after shutdown.

HDDs usually offer large capacity and low cost without affecting long-term data storage performance. However, HDDs may generate noise, and data access time is slower compared to SSDs.

SSD Hard Drive

SSD is a solid-state drive that applies long-term data storage technology and prevents data loss after the power is turned off. This device is currently chosen by many customers. SSDs are developed and manufactured by experts in long-term data storage to compete with traditional HDDs. Therefore, SSDs are improved in many aspects compared to HDDs, including performance, speed, temperature, data security, and energy efficiency.

However, the price of SSDs is usually higher than HDDs. Therefore, you should consider the budget factor before deciding which type of hard drive to choose.

If you want to enjoy performance, speed, and optimal data security on SSD hard drives at a good price and suitable for your business needs of long-term data storage and preventing data loss after shutdown, contact BPO.MP immediately. Our consulting team is always ready to listen to your needs and recommend the most suitable product.

Portable Hard Drive – Long-term data storage device, compact and convenient

A portable hard drive is an external data storage device, usually compact and convenient to carry around. Portable hard drives are typically connected to computers via a USB port and have storage capacities ranging from 100GB to 2TB. Compared to internal hard drives, portable hard drives usually have slower data access speeds, and they can store data long-term and prevent data loss after the power is turned off.

In 2023, Synology launched the portable hard drive Synology BeeDrive with storage capacities ranging from 1TB to 2TB. A standout feature is its shock resistance and safety when dropped from a height of under 2m (6.5ft). Additionally, the BeeDrop feature allows mobile devices to transfer images and videos from phones to the BeeDrive using WiFi. This feature is not limited by any operating system.

Optical Disk

An optical disk is a long-term storage device that prevents data loss after the power is turned off, using laser light to record data on the disk surface by creating Tracks and Sectors. This device was popular in the past, but it is no longer widely used today. Optical disks include CD, DVD, and Blu-ray, and they are capable of storing data long-term and preventing data loss after shutdown. A special feature of optical disks is that the stored data is not lost when the device power supply is cut off.

However, with the development of technology, other devices such as HDDs and SSDs have replaced optical disks in long-term data storage.

Popular long-term data storage device – NAS

NAS (Network Attached Storage) is a device used to store and share data in a local network. NAS operates like an independent file server. NAS provides a safe and convenient method for long-term data storage and prevents data loss after shutdown. This long-term data storage device can easily expand storage capacity when needed and integrates security features.

NAS devices need to be equipped with hard drives and always include DSM software, which allows data management, access control, automatic backup, and many other features. They are suitable for families, small businesses, and organizations that need efficient data storage and sharing on a local network. NAS long-term data storage devices are becoming increasingly popular and important in today’s digital age.

Synology NAS Storage Device
