Disk allows for writing and reading any part of the disk at any time. This allows us to be playing games, Surfing the web, and listening to music all at the same time. If we were to do this on tape, we would be able to only access the things in order they were on the tape, or we would have to wait while it scans the tape for our music, looking for empty space so we could download that latest patch.
Tape is a great way to backup your data because it's pretty cheep and easily stored and moved, but its only real use is bulk reading and writing (batch processing) of large amounts of data and other similar processes.
Disks are prone to mechanical failure, but allow for reading and writing files much easier and quicker but for a cost.
Tape is still widely used in a cooperate setting for off-site backups and for internal backups as accessing time while looking for a file to recover are not a concern where getting the file for your presentation in 5 minutes needs to be instant.
Tape, DVD, CD, Floppy Disk
Memory, disk, tape... it depends.
VTL operators, or Virtual Tape Library operators, manage data storage systems that emulate traditional tape libraries using disk storage technology. They facilitate the backup, archiving, and recovery of data, providing faster access and improved reliability compared to physical tape solutions. VTLs streamline data management by enabling automated data movement between disk and tape systems, optimizing storage efficiency and reducing operational costs.

a persitent object is the one that is stored permanently on the disk......whereas a transient object is stored temporarily on the ram....
what is the defference between cassette tape and hard disk
magnetic tapes are cheaper
The difference between a drive and disk is that a drive is used to read a disk whether it be a floppy disk or a compact disk.
No difference - a cassette contains magnetic tape.
A hard drive comes with the Computer. A hard drive is considered permanent as opposed to magnetic tape. The data in tape can be accessed only serially whereas randomly in hard drive.
Tuck tape is much stronger and has better adhesive.
Duct tape is made out of plastic, gaffer tape is made out of cloth.
There is not a difference between IBM lto5 tape drives 3588 f5a and hp lto5 tape drives eh957b. They are both a software tape.
The hard disk is the device that stores the folders.
Duct tape.
hard disk
Both are magnetic media used to store information.
