# Data Storage | ![img \|150](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/a/a0/EdisonPhonograph.jpg/320px-EdisonPhonograph.jpg) | **Data Storage** is the recording (storing) of information (data) in a storage medium. Handwriting, phonographic recording, magnetic tape, and optical discs are all examples of storage media. Biological molecules such as RNA and DNA are considered by some as data storage. Recording may be accomplished with virtually any form of energy. Electronic data storage requires electrical power to store and retrieve data. | |-|-| | | wikipedia:: [Data storage](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_storage) | ## Types ### File - eg [[EFS]] ### Object - eg [[AWS S3]] ### Block - eg [[EBS]] - [[File System]] ## [[File System]] ## [[FUSE]] ## [[NAS]] ## [[DAS]] ## [[SAN]] ## [[Cloud]] ### [[Cloud Storage, Syncing, & File Sharing]] ## [[RAID]] ## [[Backup]] ### [[Backup#Tools]] ![[Backup#Tools]] ## Media - [[MicroSD Card]] - [[USB Drive]]
