bulk storage
Large-quantity keeping facilities
Bulk storage refers to the keeping of large quantities of goods, materials, or data.
In warehousing and industry, it describes facilities or methods for storing commodities like grain, oil, or chemicals in massive amounts: The terminal has bulk storage capacity for two million barrels.
In computing, bulk storage means high-capacity data storage, typically slower but cheaper than primary memory—hard drives, tape systems, or cloud archives where speed matters less than volume.
