Semiconductor memory is a type of semiconductor device tasked with storing data. There are two electronic data storage mediums that we can utilize, magnetic or optical.

Magnetic storage:

* Stores data in magnetic form.

* Affected by magnetic fields.

* Has high storage capacity.

* Doesn't use a laser to read/write data.

* Magnetic storage devices are; Hard disk , Floppy disk, Magnetic tape etc.

Optical storage:

* Stores data optically, uses laser to read/write.

* Not affected by magnetic fields.

* Has less storage than a hard disk.

* Data accessing is high, compared to a floppy disc.

* Optical storage devices are; CD-ROM,CD-R, CD-RW, DVD etc.
