Difference between magnetic tape and hard disk?
magnetic tapes are cheaper
Example of a dynamic memory unit?
Some examples of dynamic units are magnetic disks, magnetic drums, and magnetic tapes
What are the different types of magnetic Tapes?
types of magnetic tapes
Which measure of memory access time is fastest?
There are many measures of memory access. They vary in speed the fastest being magnetic tapes. That may not be a popular choice in this technological age. The next fastest would be magnetic disks, followed by Semiconductor memories and then compact disks.
What were used before floppy disks?
Cassette tapes.
Are tapes a magnetic storage device?
Yes, they ARE magnetic
What is the difference between sam and ram?
In RAM ,the access time is the same for any memory location.Semi-conductor IC chips and magnetic disks are random access memory.In SAM a particular memory word is accessed from the memory by going through all address locations until the desired address is found.Magnetic tapes are sequential access memory.

What did people use before floppy disks?
Before Floppy disks were available, people still transferred data. It used to be with help of punch cards, reel to reel tapes, and cassette tapes. The early home computers used cassette tapes.
What is the meaning of electromagnetically stored data?
Eletromagnetically means electric and magnet Data can be stored on magnetic tapes or disks. (As opposed to solid state memories such as RAM, ROM, Flash drive, USB stick, MMC etc.) A taperecorder is an electromagnet device. magnetic particles embedded on the plastic tape (on one side)can be magnetised, semi permanently, as you pass it over a tape head. Which is an electromagnet, fed by an audio signal. Computer disks and tapes are just an extension of this idea, where information is written (and read) by means of electromagnets and a magnetic substance. Hard drives in computers, also use the same technology except the disks holding the magnetic material are rigid and run at very high speed, with microscopic read heads.
