Questions tagged [storage]
Use this tag to refer to any kind of data retention device (RAM, flash, hard disks, magnetic tape, punch cards, etc.), its means of separating pieces of information (files, blocks, sectors, etc.) or how to record and retrieve them. This is a very broad topic so selecting other tags relating to the medium (hard-drive, cdrom, etc.) or the format used on it (fat, ntfs, ext, f2fs, etc.) may help to identify it further.
