What should you consider when buying storage media?
Purchase criteria include, among other things, fast access times, storage capacity, data recovery options, and compliant archiving of data. Other decision criteria are storage duration, access type, usage mode, and reliability.
Are there any additional features?
Additional features in the strict sense are not found in storage media. However, with the ongoing digitalisation, there are many applications for storage media. For instance, the popular USB sticks were initially developed as a replacement for the floppy disk. Thanks to their increased storage capacity, they now also replace CDs, so that the pure data carriers can also be used as music catalogs for modern amplifiers or as MP3 players.
What should be considered in operation?
The use of storage media is always associated with a significant amount of heat generation. This is always the case when, for example, large amounts of data are transferred from an internal hard drive to an external one.
