What is a magnetic tape?
A magnetic tape is a secondary storage media used to access data in a sequential way
The most important advantage of disk storage over tape storage?
disk storage-> direct data access storage tape storage -> serial data access storage
What is the difference between storage media and data media?
Oh, dude, storage media is where you keep your stuff, like a hard drive or a USB stick. Data media is what's actually on those things, like the files and pictures you store. So, it's like the difference between the shelf you put your books on and the actual books themselves.
What are storage devices and storage media?
a. Storage data refers to the apparatus for recording computer data, storage media are the materials on which data are written and stored ex. for storage data are, phones, tablets, ipads, ipods, usb's ex for storage media are, Hard drive, external hard drive, floppy disk, memory stick, CD-ROM and Recordable DVD are all
Difference in term of cost among volatile non volatile and stable?
Volatile storage: if storage media loses data while power goes off, it is termed as volatile storage media for example RAM. It is the fastest among the three in terms of data access time. Non-volatile storage: If storage media retains data even while power goes off, it is termed as non-volatile storage media. For example: hard disk. It is faster than stable storage but slower as compared to volatile storage. Stable Storage:Information that is residing in stable storage is certainly not lost (theoretically). A natural catastrophe may result in a loss if not the probability of data loss is negligible. For example by using multiple hard disks as in the case of RAID technology. This is the slowest of all storage media mentioned above.
Is Media that allows random access sometimes referred to as non-identifiable media?
Media that allow random access are sometimes referred to as addressable media. This means that the storage system can locate each piece of stored data or each program at a unique address, which is determined by the computer system.
What storage media has the fastest access time?
Solid-state drives (SSDs) have the fastest access time compared to other storage media such as hard disk drives (HDDs) and optical disks. This is due to the lack of moving parts in SSDs, allowing for quicker data retrieval.
What is the storage of computer data?
The definition of computer storage is a data storage that is often called storage of memory refer to computer components and recordings media that retains digital data used.
What is the difference between addressable and non-addressable storage media?
Addressable storage media allows data to be accessed directly via specific addresses, enabling quick retrieval and manipulation of data. Examples include hard drives and solid-state drives, where files can be located and accessed through their specific locations. In contrast, non-addressable storage media, such as magnetic tape, requires sequential access, meaning data must be read in order, making it less efficient for random access tasks. This distinction impacts performance and use cases for different storage solutions.
Is hard disk the biggest storage media?
the amount of data,generally measured in numbers of bytes,that can be held by a specific storage media.
What is the act of reading data from or writing data to a storage device?
access
Is Media is the actual physical material that holds data and programs?
Yes.
