Tape remains a viable alternative to disk in some situations due to its lower cost per bit. This is a large advantage when dealing with large amounts of data. Though the areal density of tape is lower than for disk drives, the available surface area on a tape is far greater. The highest capacity tape media are generally on the same order as the largest available disk drives (about 5 TB in 2011). Tape has historically offered enough advantage in cost over disk storage to make it a viable product, particularly for backup, where media removability is necessary.

Is a hard disk is a type of magnetic storage device?
A hard disk drive is a type of magnetic storage device. A magnetic storage device stores data on a magnetized medium. Other types of magnetic storage includes magnetic recording tapes and the stripes on credit cards.
High-density floppy disk has a storage capacity of?
The floppy disk which is commonly referred to as a high density floppy disk is a 3.5 inch disk. It has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB.
Hard disk floppy disk and tape storage technologies can be classified as?
magnetic
What is the storage capacity of magnetic tape?
The largest capacity magnetic tape (as of the time of this answer) is 1 Terrabyte.
What is rigid magnetic storage medium?
Hard Disk
What storage media has the fastest access time?
Magnetic disk.
Is a hard disk magnetic or optical?
Magnetic storage is used on hard drives and floppy disks. Sectors of the disk are charged magnetically and are easily changed later. Optical storage uses a laser to read data. On a cd/dvd, the laser picks up tiny marks made starting in the center and rotating outward.
What is the storage capacity of the jaz disk?
1 Gb
What is floppy disk storage methods?
Floppy disks use magnetic disk to store the data.
Are magnetic disk and optical disk secondary storage devices?
Yes both are secondary storage devices. Primary storage devices include RAM & ROM. Secondary storage devices include magnetic disks like hard disks and cds(optical disks)
