Chapter 12 Compare and Contrast Storage Types

Storage is essential to computing. Without storage, a computer would simply be an overgrown calculator useful only for simple calculations that could be entered by hand. Thanks to storage, applications can be used over and over again to create and update data.

This chapter covers CompTIA IT Fundamentals+ Objective 2.5: Compare and contrast storage types: Volatile vs. nonvolatile, local storage types (RAM, hard drive, solid state vs. spinning disk), optical, flash drive; local network storage types (NAS, file server); cloud storage service.
