Punch cards were the first storage method developed by Basile Bouchon. They were used before the development of computers. The holes represented a series of instructions. The punch cards were used to control looms and to play the piano.

In 1928 Fritz Pfleumer patented magnetic tape. In 1965 an encoder was offered for the magnetic tape. Magnetic tape was used to record audio and store data inside a hard disk.

This form of memory had multiple inventors. They were  Frederick Viehe, An Wang, Jan Rajchman, and Jay Forrester. All claimed to have come up with the idea. This method involved using doughnut shaped magnets. The magnets had magnetic charges of 0 and 1. These worked as on/off switches. Using the technology, though, was complicated and killed time.

The semiconductor was invented in 1947 when Bardeen and Brattain from the Bell Laboratories invented the the point-contact transistor. Another version was invented in 1948 when Shockley invented the junction transistor. Following that in 1966 a new company known as Intel Corporation began to sell chips with 2,000 bits of data. A semiconductor

IBM is the company that is credited with the starting of the early evolution of magnetic disk storage. The company invented the floppy disk and the hard disk drive. The hard disk drive was later sold to Hitachi in 2003. In 1976 Allan Shugart improved the floppy disk to be 3.5 inches so it could fit in most computers unlike the companies 8 inch one. The new disk was cheap to make and could store 110 kilobytes of data. Both of these disks remained popular until the year the mid 1990s.

Twistor Magnetic Memory is known to  have been invented in the year of 1957 by Andrew Bobeck. Instead of using doughnut shaped magnets like Magnetic Core memory this for uses interwoven wires. This product was cheaper, consumed less current, and was lighter. Only selected areas would be magnetized while using this memory storage form.

Bubble memory was first made by Andrew Bobeck in 1967 while working at Bell Telephone Laboratories. It was made up of a thin magnetic film placed on a piece of garnet. On the top of the film there were small magnetized areas. These areas were known as bubbles which stored bits of data. Bubble memory was first used in a telephone system but would later mostly be used in advanced applications.

The optical disk was invented by James T. Russel. He used light as a mechanism to record and replay music. In 1975 Sony paid him millions to finish this project and it was completed in 1980.

This invention was introduced in 1976 by the company Dataram. It was known as the Bulk Core. It had a 2 MB storage. The chips can be part of a motherboard or in a box to be plugged into a laptop. These drives are faster and more reliable than USB thumb drives. This causes them to be more expensive.

The beginning of flash drives began in 1981 when Fujio Masuoka invented flash memory. In 1987 he began inventing the NAND flash which stored files and read and wrote functions. Then a computer architect from Intel took it and developed the standard USB flash drive. In 1989 M-Systems created the DiskOnChip which is similar to the flash drives of today.

The Optical disc led to the Magneto-Optical disc which was seen in 1990. This disc used both magnetic and optical technology. It used lasers influenced by the magnetic field to store data. This data storing could be switched both on and off.

Data Silos store incompatible data that is important for businesses. They allowed data to be accessed directly. The process was much faster than using other data forms of the time and was a preferred method to store data. It also helped keep information confidential.

Cloud Data storage was first invented by the Compaq in 1996. Cloud data gives an infinite amount of data space to the user. The data can be reached at any pace or time. To allow security to their users Cloud service providers have built security systems.

Data Lakes store and process big data. Data lakes are available on the cloud and a variety of other environments. Most of the information inside data lakes can be accessed by it users through the internet.
