The Argument for Digital Hard Drive Storage Case

According to Forbes Magazine – digital cold storage is an industry on the rise.  It’s no wonder, considering the major security breaches from large corporations in recent years. Cold storage allows corporations and even individuals to keep their data safe.

What is cold storage?

Cold storage is simply physical storage for your data that is not connected to any network. Burning files to CD, DVD, or Blu-ray is an example of cold storage – however this is not a practical form of storage for larger companies or for individuals with intellectual property that they hope to archive for posterity.

Many of us store data on hard drives in order to keep data close at hand. This kind of storage, despite firewall and antivirus protections, can leave our data vulnerable to hackers, viruses, and other web threats. Typical hard drives (eSATA, USB 3.0, etc.) contain spinning parts that can wear out over time – another dilemma faced by those who’d like to store data over a long period of time. Solid State Drives – with no moving parts – may be an answer to this problem.

Cold storage of either type of hard drive requires removing the drive from its hard drive enclosure or bay, and storing the hard drive physically.  However, storing hard drives unprotected is an easy way to lose valuable data. Organizing and archiving hard drives in a manner that makes them easily accessible is also an issue we face with cold storage.
