What is the round magnetic plate on which data can be encoded?
A Disk
What is a small plastic magnetic disk used to store data?
Its called a floppy disk.
Is floppy disk considered magnetic media?
In a way, yes. The material that makes up the "disk" in a floppy is Mylar, a magnetic substance. Data is stored on the Mylar disk in the form of magnetic charges.
Is a hard disk a magnetic device that stores data?
Yes
What is disk organisation?
disk organisation is when you organise a disk
What is floppy disk storage methods?
Floppy disks use magnetic disk to store the data.
Reading data is performed in magnetic disk by?
Read/Write Heads
What is the difference between an optical and a magnetic disk?
A magnetic disk is a disk which stores information magnetically, and is read/written with a small magnetic head (e.g. a hard disk)An optical disk is a disk which stores information optically, usually as a series of pits and peaks, and is read/writMagnetic Storagea) Stores data in magnetic form & it doesn't use laser to read/write datab) It is affected by magnetic field.c) It has high storage capacity.d) Data accessing is high as compared to CD's and DVD's.e) Magnetic storage devices are ; Hard disk , Floppydisk, Magnetic tape etc.Optical Storagea) Stores data optically & uses laser to read/write.b) It is not affected by magnetic field.c) It has less storage than hard disk.d) Data accessing is high as compared to floppy.e) Optical storage devices are ; CD-ROM,CD-R,CD-RW, DVD etc.
What is a parity track?
It's a track (a section of a magnetic disk, or a section of any given storage device that emulates a magnetic disk that uses the the LBA/CHS[Cylinder, Head, Sector]) that the computing device dedicates to store parity data (data to aid in error verification/correction for data that is stored on the disk).
Why hard disk is a magnetic disk?
Common hard disks with read/write heads are magnetic storage. The newer SSD (solid state drive) hard disks are not magnetic because there are no read/write heads. Solid state means no moving parts. SSD drives are labeled as such so you know what you are buying.
How does a disk drive work?
A disk drive work in a rigid magnetic disk fixed permanent drive unit, and used for storing comuter data.
Will a magnet damage a computer?
A magnet damages the Hard Disk Drive of the computer dramatically. Because a hard drive's hardware is a magnetic disk drive so the data get written magnetically to the disk. If the magnetic properties are reduced then your data goes with it. So dont ever put a magnet near a computer :)
