And none of this would be possible, of course, without the new data storage methods.

Any data storage method that does not use computers.

For now, the archiving and decoding is too expensive for it to be a mainstream data storage method.

'Differences between the actual operating systems, data storage methods, and graphics interface create an unavoidable difference in the underlying software code.'

Data storage methods relying on magnetism have predominated through most of electronic computing history with optical technology only coming on the scene in the 1970s.

The internal data storage method used for catalogue meta-objects will depend on the NIS implementation, but will be similar to a database record.

Emerging technologies such as holographic data storage and 3D optical data storage aim to use entirely different data storage methods, but these products are in development and are not yet widely available.

HSF was built upon the Yellow Book CD-ROM standard for data CDs, which itself was so open ended it would otherwise lead to diversification and creation of many incompatible data storage methods.

While floppy disk drives still have some limited uses, especially with legacy industrial computer equipment, they have been superseded by data storage methods with much greater capacity such as USB flash drives, portable external hard disk drives, optical discs, memory cards, and computer networks.

A file or similar data storage method that stores the state of the game in non-temporary memory, enabling the player to shut down the gaming system and then later restart the system and load the game state from the game file to continuing playing where they left off.
