Q: Where I can store my data?

A: There are some mainstream in the marketplace nowadays like CD/DVD, USB drive, MP3/MP4, external hard drive, memory stick, cloud service, memory card (TF card, SD card, etc.)

Q: Where is the safest place I can store my data?

A: To tell you the truth, there is no safest place or method but only effectively method. Store data should be classified: Word/Excel documents, video files like RM/RMVB, images like JPG/GIF, etc. Only you know clearly what format of files you want to store, then to choose a device to store them.Here bring you the details about the device you can choose to store your different format files.

• 1. Computer Hard Drive

You can store every kind of format files on your computer hard drive, but like I said above, you may face data loss situation.

• 2. CD/DVD

In normal way, CD and DVD just have one different place-the capacity. A CD which allows you to store about 700 MB files while DVD allows you to store about 4.7 GB. One advantage of this storage mode is that during the read/write operation, the files cannot be changed and this advantage is any other kinds of storage device haven’t.

• 3. USB Drive

The principle of storing data on the USB drive is the same as memory card, memory stick, MP3/MP4. It uses flash memory chip to store files, so the normal dropping or hitting will not damage the data-the precondition is that the USB drive does not get crushed. The portability is the main reason why many users choose it to store data. But if you get your USB drive crashed, you will lose your data ’cause the crushed may hurt the flash memory chip in your USB drive. So if you are using your USB drive, just take care of it.

• 4. External Hard Drive

The principle of storing data is the same like computer hard drive, and the advantage of an external hard drive is that it has the portability as the USB drive has. Moreover, it has the same capacity as the computer hard drive has. So the user can choose it to store many files as you want.

• 5. Cloud Service

In my opinion, I prefer this kind of storing files ’cause you don’t need to worry about storage device crashed, only thing you need to do is to keep your account safe. That’s it.
