data storage
Preserving digital information
Data storage is the recording of information for later retrieval.
The term encompasses physical media like hard drives, flash drives, and optical discs, as well as remote systems: We moved everything to cloud storage.
Storage capacity is measured in bytes—gigabytes for personal devices, terabytes or petabytes for institutional systems.
