This document defines and describes several types of storage media devices including discs (CD, DVD, floppy), flash memory cards (SD, MMC, xD), and tape drives. It provides details on the size, storage capacity, intended use, and other specifications for each type of media.

2.  Disc is arewritrable ampliation disc whith
equal storage compacity to a dvd -r

3.  Is a magnetic aptical disc base data storage
deviced initially in tended for storage of up
to 74 minuts and, later,80 minuts of
digitazed audio

4.  is a computer hardware device that stores
data. A zip disk drive is
somewhat like floppy disk drive, only that the
size of disks inserted into the
devices

5.  is a data storage device that reads and
performs digital recording writes data on a
magnetic tape. Magnetic tape data storage is
typically used for offline, archival data
storage. Tape media generally has a favorable
unit cost and long archival stability.

6.  is a disk storage medium composed of a disk of
thin and flexible magnetic storage
medium, sealed in a rectangular plastic carrier
lined with fabric that removes dust particles.
They are read and written by a floppy disk
 Floppy disks, initially as 8-inch (200 mm) media
and later in 5.25-inch (133 mm) and 3.5-inch
(89 mm) sizes, were a ubiquitous form of data
storage and exchange from the mid-1970s well
into the first decade of the 21st century

7.  is a variation of the Compact Disc invented by
Philips and Sony. CD-R is a Write Once Read
Many(WORM) optical medium, although the
whole disk does not have to be entirely
written in the same session.
 CD-R retains a high level of compatibility
with standard CD readers, unlike CDRWwhich
can be re-written, but is not capable of
playing on many readers

8.  is a DVD disc having 8 cm in diameter.
 The 8 cm optical disc format was originally
used for music CD singles, hence the
commonly used names CD single and
miniCD. Similarly, the manufactured 8 cm
DVDs were originally used for music videos
and as such became known as DVD single.

9.  is a non-volatile memory card format developed
by the SD Card Association(SDA) for use in
portable devices. The SD technology is used by
more than 400 brands across dozens of product
categories and more than 8,000 models.
 SD comprises several families of cards:[the
original, Standard-Capacity (SDSC) card, a High-
Capacity card family, an extended-Capacity card
family, and the SDIO family with input/output
functions rather than just data storage.

10.  (also known as growisofs, its main part) is a
collection of open source computer programs
that are popular DVD (and recently Blue-ray
Disc) burning tools for Linux, FreeBSD,
Windows and Mac OS X. dvd+rw-tools does
not burn CDs.
 The package itself requires another program
which is used to create ISO 9660 images on
the fly. This is provided by mkisofs (from the
cdrtools package) or genisoimage (from the
cdrkit package).

11.  is a flash memory memory card standard.
Unveiled in 1997 by SanDisk and Siemens AG,
it is based on Toshiba's NAND-based flash
memory, and is therefore much smaller than
earlier systems based on Intel
NORbasedmemory such as CompactFlash.
MMC is about the size of a postage stamp:
24 mm × 32 mm × 1.4 mm

12.  is a flash memory card format, used mainly in
older digital cameras. xD stands for Extreme
Digital.
 xD cards are available in capacities of 16 MiB
up to 2 GiB.

13.  is a non-volatile memory card format
developed by the SD Card Association (SDA)
for use in portable devices. The SD
technology is used by more than 400 brands
across dozens of product categories and
more than 8,000 models.

14.  is a mass storage device format used in
portable electronic devices. Most
CompactFlash devices contain flash memory
in a standardized enclosure. The format was
first specified and produced by SanDisk in
1994. The physical format is now used for a
variety of devices

15.  is a flash memory card standard owned by
Toshiba, with capacities ranging from 2 MB to
128 MB. SmartMedia memory cards are no
longer manufactured

16.  chip card, or integrated circuit card (ICC), is
any pocket-sized card with embedded
integrated circuits. A smart card or
microprocessor cards contain volatile
memory and microprocessor components.
