What unit is used to measure the capacity of today's storage media?

In terms of storage capacity: Tape, DVD, CD, floppy disk. The actually capacity of tape depends on the media, transport mechanism, encoding method, and length of tape.

what is storage media in computer

Single layer, single sided Blue-ray disc

what is the advantage and disadvantage of storage device and storage media

Advantages of Electronic Media Advantages include large information storage capacity in small size and re usability (most of electronic media devices are reusable). Storage density and how many times it can be reused for storage will depend on the electronic media type. Electronic media (or storage devices) are of different types based on technique used for storing information. e.g. Flash memory based, Optical Storage (DVD, CD) or more traditional magnetic storage devices (floppy discs/storage tapes/hard…

The formatted storage capacity depends on the type of DVD media: 4.7 GB for a single layer DVD 8 GB for a double layer DVD 52 GB for a Blu-Ray DVD Actual data storage capacity can be enhanced by using various compression methods. The amount of storage capacity increase depends on the type of data stored as well as the compression method used.

There can be no equivalence. A mb is a measure of optoelectronic data storage. Different media and quality require different storage requirements.

To be honest the ones that are being quite prevalent and in use nowadays and are also tested and trusted are Mozy, Data protecto and Carbonite. try them hope it works for you.

Media is described as pictures, movies, music. Storage is the hard drive or memory where your media is saved.

Television,Radio,Internet,Mobilephones are examples of electronic media.It gives us alot of information through news,dramas.stories,movies.CDs and DVDs are also included in electronic media as they have stored information inn the form of electronic signals.

No, some cards offer higher storage capacity and more rapid transfer rates.

Media is plural, medium is singular. "The CD rom is my favorite storage medium." "Do you have a CD-Rom or any other media formats?"

They have been significantly succeded by smaller, more rigid forms of data storage media with greater protection and storage capacity. For more information about the history of floppy disks and storage devices, see Related Links below this box.

it is the principle quantum number

The hard drive would be considered both, as the media is not removable.

A removable storage media is a device that can be used to store data but does not necessarily have to be permanently attached to the computer. Examples of removable storage media include flash disk, diskettes, and CD.

One storage device is RAM. Also Magnetic Media, Flash Media, and Optical media. Your welcome :)

The difference between storage media and data media is that data media allows data to pass through them unlike the later which keeps (stores) data. Examples of storage media are compact disk (CD) and hard disk whereas examples of data media are telephone lines, coaxial cable and LAN.

Yes; if the storage is on magnetic media then that can be altered by magnetic and electric fields.

Storage space is used inefficiently, reducing storage capacity and in most cases performance. That is if a file is updated the updated info is stored in another location in the media, it results in the slow access.

Do you want compressed or uncompressed video? A DVD can store a compressed full-length movie, but you would have to go to Blu Ray to store an uncompressed feature length film.

All storage media have their limits. As far as how much information can be stored on a CD, I can't give you an absolute figure. They do come in different storage capacity sized though.

the amount of data,generally measured in numbers of bytes,that can be held by a specific storage media.

There are many types of storage media, two of them are USBs, or thumb drives, and external hard drives.
