Talk:Storage devices

Simply 'storage' or 'data storage' would have been a better fit IMO.

'Storage devices' would make more sense though.  Morpheus talk 08:45, 1 March 2016 (EST)

you guys are welcome to change it, as long as the title relates to a piece of hardware that stores your data--Theredpikmin (talk) 10:23, 1 March 2016 (EST)

Do CDs fit in here? How about tape drives? Or flash drives? Or External hard drives? Would Storage Devices be better off as a category? My personal opinion is that we should just add them all to this page until it becomes unwieldy and then split it all up. Mrsnooze (talk) 02:48, 5 March 2016 (EST)

My original intention for main storage, such as HDD and SSD. So those two should stay at the top of the page. I have already added and external HD section to the page. If you want to add flash drives/cds etc, go for it. Perhaps put them in a separate sub-category on the page and label it something like "movable storage". --Theredpikmin (talk) 14:26, 5 March 2016 (EST)

I just divided the page between primary and secondary storage. Again, feel free to add any secondary storage devices that you wish.--Theredpikmin (talk) 14:50, 5 March 2016 (EST)

Wear leveling with ssds=

if someone who is savvy with ssds can better discuss wear-leveling and life span of them, I would appreciate it.

In particular, if someone could discuss how to use an ssd in the best way (example: should I install programs on it, etc).

I am reading into the technology more and more, and if I find answers myself I will add them, but help is always appreciated. --Theredpikmin (talk) 10:13, 7 March 2016 (EST)
