 Computer storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term storage refers to the parts of a computer that retain physical state (data) for some interval of time, possibly even after electrical power to the computer is turned off.
media categories, for example, semiconductor storage, optical storage, phase change, magneto-optical storage, and magnetic storage, which is mainly disk-based, rather than memory-based.
In traditional parlance, primary storage contains data that are actively being used (for example, the programs currently being run and the data they are operating on).

 Storage medium control system for controlling a write-once read-many storage medium - Patent 5448728
A system for accessing a write-once read-many storage medium is intended to modify and update a stored data on the medium according to an operator's desire and easily manage the modified data and the updated data on the storage medium.
In general, on a storage medium such as a harddisk or a floppy disk, data stored on the medium are allowed to be physically modified and updated by accessing the data on a storage location.
On the other hand, a storage medium such as an optical disk employs a so-called destructive writing system, in which data stored on a storage medium are not allowed to be physically modified and updated.

 Data storage medium having reflective particulate silver layer - Patent 4269917
The data storage medium of claim 1 wherein said volume concentration of silver particles in said reflective layer is a minimum of 20% and a maximum of 70%.
Another object was to devise a reflective laser recording and data storage medium which permits the pre-recording of control indicia and certain data base data by photographic means to facilitate the use of discs or plates in both the recording apparatus and the playback apparatus.
For laser recording as opposed to data storage applications the reflectivity of the reflective layer preferably ranges between 15% and 50%; thus, the remaining percentage of incident radiation of 85% to 50% is either absorbed by the reflective component or partly passes through it.

 AE-89
These are the materials that most consistently meet the criteria for selecting a storage medium--namely, the ability (1) to deliver heat to its application points at a desirable temperature, and (2) to do it cheaply, based not so much on cost of the material as on cost of the total system and its maintenance.
As a storage material, rocks are cheap and readily available, have good heat transfer characteristics with air (the transfer medium) at low velocities, and act as their own heat exchanger.
The volume of storage needed depends on four factors-(1) heating requirement of the area to be heated, (2) days of storage reserve desired, (3) temperature range over which the heat is stored, and (4) type of storage material used.

An analogy is to think of the storage as human memory, with the hard disk as (Your general store of remembered information) long-term memory, and the RAM as (What you can repeat immediately after perceiving it) short-term memory.
Historically, "memory" referred to "magnetic core memory" in the 1950s, and then to semiconductor-based storage in the 1970s, at a time when the fastest response times were for magnetic core, and then for semiconductor memory, respectively.
In traditional parlance, primary storage contains data that are actively being used (for example, the ((computer science) a sequence of instructions that a computer can interpret and execute) programs currently being run and the data they are operating on).

 Secondary storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Secondary storage is a category of computer storage.
It is used to store data that is not in active use.
It is usually slower and has higher capacity than primary storage, and is almost always non-volatile.

 Holographic data storage
Figure 3 shows the most important hardware components in a holographic storage system: the SLM used to imprint data on the object beam, two lenses for imaging the data onto a matched detector array, a storage material for recording volume holograms, and a reference beam intersecting the object beam in the material.
Because holography is a volume storage method, the capacity of a holographic storage system tends to increase as the thickness of the medium increases, since greater thickness implies the ability to store more independent diffraction gratings with higher selectivity in reading out individual data pages without crosstalk from other pages stored in the same volume.
In the case of holographic storage, the response of the recording medium, which converts the optical interference pattern to a refractive index pattern (the hologram), is generally linear in light intensity and lacks the response threshold found in bistable storage media such as magnetic films.
