Storage Basics• A storage medium contains data• A storage device records and
retrieves data from a storage medium– Data gets copied from a storage
device into RAM, where it waits to be processed
– Processed data is held temporarily in RAM before it is copied to a storage medium
• Vertical vs. horizontal storage
