In computing, disk failure usually refers to the failure of a disk-based storage device, including: Floppy disk failure; Hard disk drive failure; See also.
The word "medium" refers to the physical storage layer, the medium on which the data is stored; as opposed to errors related to e.g. protocol, device/controller/driver state, etc. Medium errors are most commonly detected by checking the read data against a checksum – itself being most
