    This risk can be minimised by company policies that reduce the use of removable media when transporting and storing data, and by encrypting the contents of removable media. Prior to the disposal or reuse of removable media, appropriate steps should be taken to ensure that all data previously stored on the device is not accessible. [6]

    In the 1964 removable disk media was introduced by the IBM 2310 disk drive with its 2315 cartridge used in IBM 1800 and IBM 1130 computers. [7] Magnetic disk media is today not removable; however disk devices and media such as optical disc drives and optical discs are available both as internal storage and external storage. [8]

  5. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    As a result of having no moving mechanical parts, solid-state storage has no data access latency required to move the media as in an electromechanical storage device. This allows for significantly higher I/O operation rates . Additionally, solid-state storage consumes less power, has better physical shock resistance, and produces less heat and ...

    In IT security, a sheep-dip is the process of using a dedicated device to test inbound files on removable media for viruses before they are allowed to be used with other computers. [ 1 ] The name sheep-dip is derived from a method of preventing the spread of parasites in a flock of sheep by dipping the new animals that farmers are adding to the ...

    Audio tape cassettes and high-capacity floppy disks (e.g., Imation SuperDisk), and other forms of drives with removable magnetic media, such as the Iomega Zip drive and Jaz drives, are now largely obsolete and rarely used. There are products in today's market that will emulate these legacy drives for both tape and disk (SCSI1/SCSI2, SASI ...
