Lett., A 375, No. 18, 1864-1869 (2011).} \itemab Summary: Given two quantum memories for continuous variables and the possibility to perform passive optical operations on the optical modes before or after the storage, two possible scenarios arise resulting in generally different degrees of final entanglement. Namely, one could either store an entangled state and retrieve it directly from the memory, or rather store two separate single-mode squeezed states and then combine them with a beam-splitter to generate the final entangled state. In this Letter, we analytically determine which of the two options yields more entanglement for several regions of the system's parameters, and quantify the advantage it entails. \itemrv{~} \itemcc{} \itemut{} \itemli{doi:10.1016/j.physleta.2011.03.045} \end
