Storage reliability refers to how well a computer storage device, like a hard drive or SSD, can keep data safe and accurate over time. It is about making sure that important files and information are not lost or corrupted due to faults in the storage device. For GCSE Computer Science students, understanding storage reliability means recognising that for a storage device to be reliable, it must be able to store information dependably, recover data if errors occur, and maintain performance even after being used for a long time. This ensures that users can trust the storage to securely hold their data for when they need it.
