Abrasion is Mechanical Weathering.
No and it won't damage electromechanical or vacuum tube based equipment. What it will ruin it solidstate electronics. So an old car with points and a distributer will work just fine after an EMP, but all modern cars with electronic ignition and computers will be dead.

For one thing there is no physical head to crash into the physical platter and damage it.

mechanical delays associated with Tertiary Storage makes it the slowest of all storage types but largest in capacity.

Your car should be safe for a year in storage from mehanical difficulties, if kept in a temperature-controlled environment and dry. Of course it is always better, if someone can start your car periodically and take it for a good run, and regular mechanical maintenance is important.
access times from memory is 200,000 times faster than access times from storage devices due to the mechanical movement involved.
In computers these are mass storage components where data is stores for the computer to access and act on it. There are many forms of disk drives some are not mechanical at all but in all instances they are mass storage units
access times from memory is 200,000 times faster than access times from storage devices due to the mechanical movement involved.
Since all storage devices are hardware and are therefore vulnerable to the unpredictability of mechanical or electronic device failures. The closest approximation to stable storage are database systems that write data to multiple storage devices at the same time. If one device crashes, the data is still available from another device.

A floppy disk is a flexible magnetic storage medium encased in a semi-flexible plastic shell.
Solid State Drives (SSD) are more reliable than Hard Disks as they have no moving parts.
