salvestustüüp

Salvestustüüp refers to the method or format used to store data. In digital technology, this concept encompasses various physical and logical approaches to preserving information. Common salvestustüübid include magnetic storage, such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and magnetic tapes, which store data by magnetizing small areas on a surface. Optical storage, like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, uses lasers to read and write data by altering the physical properties of a disc's surface. Solid-state storage, exemplified by flash memory drives (USB drives) and solid-state drives (SSDs), relies on electronic circuits to store data without moving parts, offering speed and durability.

Beyond physical media, salvestustüüp can also refer to the file format in which data is organized and stored. This includes text files, image files (like JPEG or PNG), audio files (like MP3 or WAV), and video files (like MP4 or AVI). Each format has specific characteristics that determine how the data is encoded and interpreted by software. Cloud storage, a more recent development, represents a virtual salvestustüüp where data is stored on remote servers accessible over the internet, abstracting the underlying physical storage infrastructure from the user. The choice of salvestustüüp depends on factors such as data capacity, access speed, cost, durability, and the intended use of the stored information.
