Answer 1

Fill in the gaps in this summary of storage devices using the correct word from the list.

Floppies are very cheap. However, they are slow and have a limited capacity. Hard disks are fast and can store large amounts of data; moreover, they are fixed inside the computer. Hence, you cannot use them to transfer data.
On the other hand, you can transfer data with removable hard disks. However, they are expensive.
CD-ROM disks can hold quite large amounts of data. Nonetheless, they are usually read-only. Meaning, you cannot change the information on them.
Magneto optical disks are like CD-ROMs because you can write data on to them. They are removable and have large capacities. However, they are expensive and do not conform to a standard. Consequently, they are not very common.
Lastly, magnetic tape is cheap and has a large capacity. However, it does not allow random access and drives are slow. Therefore, it is only suitable for backups.

Итак, давайте воспользуемся данным списком слов, чтобы заполнить пропуски в данном тексте о накопителях информации.

(1) However
