The convenience of removable data media is undeniable. Now more than ever, you can just copy your data to a thumb drive, and transfer data to your friend’s desktop computer or laptop, without even bringing out your own computer.

Now, removable storage media is wide spread, ranging from cameras to mp3 players, from phones to video cameras. They are used for storage of movies, documents, or even critical information!

Removable media often fall into the following categories:

• Solid state

SD cards, memory stick, thumb drives, smart cards, multimedia cards

• Optical discs

Cd, DVD, HD DVD, Blue Ray

• Magnetic

External hard disks, Zip disk, floppy disks

It is easy for you to lose data in these devices due to system corruption, accidental deletion or even theft and physically losing the media!
