Get Unit 10 Magnetic Storage

Magnetic storage is the manipulation of magnetic fields on a medium in order to record audio, video or other data. Magnetic storage has been around in many forms since 1888 by Oberlan Smith, who publicized his audio recording on a wire in Electrical World.

How much data can a magnetic tape storage hold? Similarly to hard drive disks, magnetic tapes can store enormous amounts of data averaging between 1-15 terabytes. This makes them a great long term storage option particularly for system backups, archive data and exchange purposes.

In this section you will see the 4 different types of magnetic storage media. Fixed hard disk drive. Portable hard disk drive. Floppy disk. Magnetic tape.

There are two types: hard disks made of rigid aluminum or glass, and removable diskettes made of flexible plastic.

How much data can a magnetic tape storage hold? Similarly to hard drive disks, magnetic tapes can store enormous amounts of data averaging between 1-15 terabytes. This makes them a great long term storage option particularly for system backups, archive data and exchange purposes.

Common types of magnetic media are: audio reel-to-reel and cassettes tapes. video and computer tapes on open reels or in cassettes. hard disk drives, (HDD)

Commonly used devices that use magnetic storage include magnetic tape, floppy disks and hard-disk drives.

As long as it is not damaged, a hard disk is very reliable., The system detects any failed area on the disk surface and prevents data being written in that spot (these are called 'bad sectors').

Magnetic storage: Hard Disc Drive (HDD) Can be easily damaged, will slow down and eventually break over time. Slower access than Solid State Drives. The main storage device in most computer systems.

Inexpensive When compared to other storage media such as hard drives, tape storage has the lowest unit price per volume. This is a massive advantage if you're planning on investing in backing up your entire system, as magnetic tape storage is likely going to be the cheapest option.

Magnetic devices are fairly cheap, high in capacity and durable. However, they are susceptible to damage if dropped. They are also vulnerable to magnetic fields. A strong magnet might possibly erase the data the device holds.
