A compact disk (CD) is an optical storage device.
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)
Which of the following storage media used laser technology to store data Floppy disk Magnetic tape CD-ROM Hard drive?
Of these only CD-ROMs use LASERs to access the data. The others are magnetic storage devices.
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.
Which has maximum space storage ROM or hard disk?
hard disk
Is floppy disc optical storage?
No. Floppy disks are magnetic media that rely on magnetic polarization to write data to the disk much like a hard drive. Unlike CD media they can be erased by a strong magnet field that effectively scrambles the data tracks.
