Welcome to the G&H Podcast! In this episode, we delve into the fascinating world of secondary storage. Discover what secondary storage is, how it operates, and why it's essential for storing your files, programs, and apps. Unlike primary storage like RAM, secondary storage, such as hard drives and SSDs, provides a long-term solution for data that isn't accessed frequently.

We explore various types of storage, starting with magnetic tape, a cost-effective and portable option that has stood the test of time. Learn about hard disk drives (HDDs) and their components, including spinning platters and actuator arms, and the benefits and functionalities of solid-state drives (SSDs) with their flash memory technology.

Cloud storage is another key topic, highlighting its role in remotely storing data on server racks managed by companies like Amazon. Discover the considerations when choosing secondary storage devices, including performance, capacity, reliability, security, and cost.

Finally, we discuss the trends shaping the future of secondary storage, such as the rise of cloud storage, advancements in NVMe and flash memory, and the impact of artificial intelligence and machine learning on the industry. Don't miss our next episode, where we'll explore the heart of the computer: the CPU. Stay tuned!
