What is the maximum storage on the magnetic media?
Magnetic storage optical storage solid-state storage storage capacity
Is a digital memory card an optical device?
It is not an optical device. C D ROM or DVD are optical devices. Whereas a digital memory card is solid state device.
What Uses both solid state and magnetic technologies?
Hybrid drive
What are the three different types of backing storage?
Magnetic. Opical and Solid state
What physical storage media holds program variables during execution?
Memory (RAM) usually What holds program variables during execution, but any storage medium can be used to store variables, including magnetic, optical and solid state drive.
Is a blu ray disc an example of solid-state storage?
Blu-ray is optical storage, not solid state storage.Solid state storage is electronic storage (e.g. Flash drive, SSD, DRAM, SRAM, ROM).
What is an advantage of magnetic drive technologies over solid state ones?
A magnetic drive stores data on a rotating platter using magnetism. A solid state drive is all electronic and uses neither magnetism nor moving parts.The primary advantages are that solid state drives can be faster, use less power and survive physical shocks, like dropping it on the floor, that would kill a magnetic drive.
What media is not magnetic storage media?
Non-magnetic storage media include: CDs, DVDs, Laserdiscs, and Blu-Ray (optical) NAND, Flash, and SD devices (thumb drives, SD cards, and Solid State drives) RAM drives and SRAM (Static RAM) RFID and similar radio-cards (typically read-only) EEPROM and other reprogrammable data, such as Firmware (electronic) If we want to get oldschool, it can also include Punch Cards (optical)
Do solid state drives cost more and are less rugged than magnetic hard drives?
False
Do solid state hard drives cost more and are less rugged than magnetic hard drives?
true
What are the difference between magnetic drive vs static state drive?
A magnetic drive stores data on a rotating platter using magnetism. A solid state drive is all electronic and uses neither magnetism nor moving parts.The primary advantages are that solid state drives can be faster, use less power and survive physical shocks, like dropping it on the floor, that would kill a magnetic drive.
Is pen drive magnetic media or optical media?
Neither - they are a Solid State Drive (SSD). They use silicon chips to store the data - in general similar to RAM except they are Nonvolatile - they retain data without any power applied whereas RAM is Volatile and losses all it's data when power is removed.
