The smaller holographic drives can store thirty times the information of a Blu-ray Disc.

The drive can store photos, videos, music, documents and other files to be shared on a home or small-office network.

The Xbox system was sold with a new type of data storage for consoles: an internal hard drive to store information.

In order to increase the amount of information the drive can store, most hard disks have multiple platters.

The drives store 31 days of programming, and the latest broadcast automatically eliminates the oldest.

Traditional hard drives store their data in a linear, ordered manner.

A 60-gigabyte iPod's hard drive can store 15 hours of video, and it's only 1.8 inches in diameter.

While hard drives, now common in computers, can store tens or hundreds of megabytes, the disks cannot be removed and carried around.

When used on 16-bit systems such as the PDP-11, the drive stored roughly 1.2 megawords.

The drives store large amounts of data using the same technology that compact disk players use to store music.
