How long does a 1 GB Lexar SD card last?
Electronic equipment can last for years if stored with moisture absorbing material, and away from electrostatic contact. The biggest problem is with retrieval, for example data stored on floppy discs is difficult to retrieve simply because computers are sold without a floppy drive.
Which are the random access devices?
In reference to your PC; RAM, CD, DVD, Floppy Disks, Hard Disk Drives, Flash Drives... Any device from which you can retrieve the last byte stored at any time without having to read any other data stored prior to it. Tape Drives are not Random Access. In order to reach the last byte stored on the tape, you must read all the bytes stored before it.
What is a high density diskette?
Last century when desktop computers were invented they stored information on floppy disks. The last of the floppy disk to be used could take 1.44Megabyte. These days we have USB drives which will take 8Gigabyte or about 7 000 times a high density diskette
How do you make a disk write protected?
For a CD-ROM to become write-protected, it must either be full, or have it's sessions closed so that no further data can be written to the disk. Here is a brief explanation of disc sessions: Data burned to a CD or DVD is laid out in sessions. These sessions are composed of a lead-in which holds the table of contents for the disc. Next is the lead out. A blank CD or DVD can only acquire 99 tracks per session. Sometimes multiple sessions are required to burn all content to DVD or CD media. In these cases, the lead in contains an "address" or directions that clue the new session in on the previous burn session history. So in summary, the odds are that your disc can no longer have information added to it.
What uses magnetic particles to store items on a disks surface?
Magnetic Disks, otherwise known as 'Floppy disks'. The last generation of these disks were 3 1/2" and used a ridgid plastic case, to contain the magnetic disk within. Not very floppy. The early versions were 7" and 5" and were contained in soft plastic outer sleeves. These were actually floppy.
What is the capacity of a floppy diskettes?
The last generation of floppy disks were 3.5 inches in diameter. They were capable of holding 1.44 megabytes of data. By comparison, a Compact Disk holds about 650 megabytes.
Who is floppy disk?
Floppy disks are still used in a variety of machines (not desktop computers) that were built for years after the floppy was introduced. These machines (such as embroidery machines, machine tool devices, pianos, and some medical equipment) were built to last decades and are still in use.Floppy disks are also used for art projects and promotional purposes.

What are the disadvantages of using a floppy disk as a medium of storage?
The biggest disadvantage is that it has very little storage capacity. The maximum storage capacity of a (last generation) floppy disk is around 240 megabytes. A USB stick, CD, or DVD-ROM can all hold much more than this. Secondly, fewer and fewer computer termnials are being manufactured with floppy disk drives, since they have been replaced by other storage methods. This means it is hard to get your data off the disk. Thirdly, floppy disks are more easily corruptible than other methods of data storage.
What is is a floppy disk?
One of the older computer storage mediums. They were made of discs of thin plastic, about the thickness of paper and covered with magnetic film. They replaced punch cards and reel to reel tapes as a storage mechanism. The original ones were 8 inches in diameter, eventually coming down in size to the 3" floppy. The amount of data improved with each generation, so that the last ones held as much as 100 Meg of data.
How long does a credit report last after you die?
Credit agencies like any large organization that collects data will have a data archiving process. Archived data is stored in a less accessible but retrievable state. Financial data especially is stored for long periods of time to lessen any legal exposure. Some data is transferred to a permanent media and never destroyed. The period of time from when data is recorded and data is destroyed depends on the organization storing the data. There are often laws to set up minimums, but the data is the property of the organization. As for the person associated with the data being deceased, most companies take great care in dealing with how the data of the deceased is used. However it probably has little bearing on the archiving and destruction of related data.
