Storage durability - GCSE Computer Science Definition

Reviewed by: Robert Hampton

Published

Storage durability refers to how long and reliably data can be stored and remain unchanged on a storage device, such as a hard drive, USB stick, or cloud storage. It means that once you save your files, they won't be lost or corrupted and will still be there when you need them in the future. Storage durability is important because it ensures that important information, like school projects or treasured photos, stays safe and can be accessed whenever you need it. The durability of storage can vary depending on the technology used and how well it is maintained.
