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 :)
Why do some men become vengeful when they feel rejected?
Some men may become vengeful when they feel rejected due to feelings of hurt, low self-esteem, or a need to regain a sense of power and control. It can also stem from societal expectations around masculinity and the belief that rejection is a threat to their ego. Additionally, unresolved past experiences or trauma can contribute to this behavior.
How strong must a magnet be to erase electronic memory?
Electronic memory, I am assuming means magnetic media. I have placed a hard drive directly on a 22" subwoofer magnet, and was still able to use it afterwards, with all my data. EMP or electromagnetic pulse provides more of a threat than magnetism. keep HDDS away from microwaves!
What are examples of magnetic and non-magnetic storage media?
Magnetic Storage:Hard disk drive (HDD)Floppy disk drive (FDD)Data Tape backupMiniDV tapeCassette tapeThe magnetic stripe on the back of a credit or debit cardNon-magnetic Storage:Solid-state drive (SSD)Flash memory cardUSB flash driveOptical media (DVD, CD and BluRay)Punch cards
Is a magnetic tape drive input output or storage?
A disk drive is all three, depending on the situation. It is an input device when it provides stored data to an application. It is an output device when it receives data from an application. It is a storage system when it saves the data for future use.
What is the advantage of a SSD over a regular magnetic hard drive?
Solid State Drives (SSD) are more robust that traditional magnetic drives. They dont have any moving parts and generate less heat during operation that magnetic drives. They are also not vulnerable to strong magnetic fields which magnetic drives are. They use less energy in operation as they have no moving parts. On the downside SSD's are susceptible to degradation over time and cannot be physically defragged (as magnetic drives can be).

Is an iMac magnetic?
Yes. It is magnetic. but if you put a magnet or something magnetic up to it. Good Luck. It will wipe your hard drive out for good.
How do you completely clear your external hard drive?
You can completely clear your external hard drive by formatting it.
What is a drive that uses both magnetic and SSD technologies called?
Hybrid hard drive
Examples of Magnetic tape storage?
tape drive
Is a magnetic tape drive an input device?
It is a input:)
