5 Types of Storage Devices for Media Assets

Storing media assets, such as images, video and audio have specific requirements around the lifecycle of the asset. When storing media files in a professional setting, choosing the right type of storage device requires knowledge of the underlying workflows. 

Media assets are used in professional workflows as components when creating content. Various types of storage devices are used in the context of media assets:

1. Online storage devices include hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state disks (SSDs). These may be used for fast access to assets during the editing process. However, both HDD and SSD storage has a lifespan, limited by the physical moving parts (HDDs) and the limited life of NAND flash chips (SSDs).
2. Offline storage entails storage such as LTO tape, cloud, and optical. These storage mediums are designed for assets that have completed production and need to be retained for the long-term. At this stage, the longevity of the storage is more important than the speed.

However you choose to store your media assets, it’s vital to have a software platform which can accommodate different types of storage into a seamless workflow. The four modules in the Archiware P5 Suite secure data using different methods and restore them when required. All modules can be combined to create multiple-step security concepts to achieve maximum data protection.
