Data Storage Types: File, Block, & Object

Data is one of the most valuable assets a business has, and data storage and data sharing are important business operations.
Today I will talk about three different types of data storage: file storage, block storage, and object storage.

Had never seen a simpler, yet thorough explanation of storage types !! This channel deserves a million subscriptions.

Hi... Your 5-minute video was insane.
I was looking for all the explanations in the video for so long. I had to see with my own eyes what that "block" means and I clearly understood. Thank you sooo much!

[Azghouls]

I love the graphics at the end. Sunny is the GOAT.

[moustafaibrahim]

Actually, i consider this amazing video is one of the best videos that explained it.

@Sunny Classroom
But I have a question for you with regards to the animation starting at 4:10.
In my understanding, blocks are small fragments of data that are, if put together, could compose a file that is typically stored in a tile storage, no? And if so, the illustrated representation of blocks should be smaller objects inside each box, no?

[sairishitha]

Hi sir, your videos or amazing such a clear content. Thanks for providing such good knowledge to us.

[madisonlong]

Sunny, can you please do a video on subnetting class A? Your videos are so helpful, but i am having a very hard time with class A.

I always get confused by block storage because that's how filesystems store files anyways. They're broken into blocks and those blocks can be stored anywhere in the filesystem

[thegreatcerebral]

So... I still don't understand really the difference and I would really like to see the difference in actual use. For example, you say that block storage is for structured use however it is used in SANs and NASs right... so why show different data in block storage vs. object storage when it could be the same? The same goes for file storage.

What does, for example an MP3 file look like in each? Why is it better suited for each vs. not the other? I guess that's my question also. To the end user it is going to pretty much look the same right? So you are essentially referring to applications that work with the data is easier to use object storage vs block? IDK... I understand what you are saying I just don't understand what you are saying. Like I can regurgitate what you said back to someone who asks me but I have no idea what I am saying.
