Some of the most common methods for storing data include direct attached storage, network attached storage, storage area network, and cloud storage. Direct attached storage would be used for immediate access to data. This would be like the hard drive on our computer. We have immediate access to it because it is stored on the device. Network attached storage is data that is kept within a network and requires access. Storage area networks are multiple devices that contain the data. This could be used in a RAID setup across multiple servers. Cloud storage is data kept in a cloud server. Examples of these would be ICloud, Oracle, and Microsoft Onedrive.
