What is Storage media used by optical disc drives?
CD and DVD disks are used by optical disc drives.
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)
What are the main categories of optical laser disks?
Main categories of optical laser disks are CD-ROM,WORM Disk/CD-Record able(CD-R) Disks,CD Read/Write(CD-RW) Disk,Digital Video(or Versatile)Disk(DVD).
Are optical disks example of a main memory?
No, optical disks are not considered a form of main memory. They are a type of secondary storage used for data storage and retrieval, such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. Main memory, or RAM, is used by a computer to store data that is actively being used or processed, whereas optical disks provide long-term storage solutions.
What are the advantage and limitation of optical disk optical disk?
Optical use a laser to read and write data .Optical disks have very large storage capacity but they are not fast as harddisk .There are major types of optical disk 1.CD-Rom 2 Worm 3.Eraser Advantage's optical disks has a very high storing capacity ,inexpensive has along life of at least 25 years .
What form of storage is referred to as optical media?
Optical media include CD-ROMs, DVD ROMs, and Blu-Ray disks.
Is it true that a DVD-ROM is a high capacity optical disc?
Yes. Although there are more high capacity disks out there.
What are the types of storage devices that are read by lasers?
CD (Compact Disks) DVD (Digital Versatile Disks) Blu-Ray optical disk
What advantage does optical disk storage have over magnetic disk storage?
Optical disk storage offers several advantages over magnetic disk storage, including greater durability and resistance to environmental factors such as dust and magnetic fields. Additionally, optical disks typically have a longer shelf life, making them suitable for archival purposes. They also tend to consume less power during operation and are often lighter and more portable than magnetic disks. However, optical disks generally have slower read/write speeds compared to magnetic disks.
A beam of light used to record and retrieve data on optical disks is known as?
laser
What is a mechanism that holds spin read and writes magnetic or optical disks?
disk derive
