2. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_storage

   Magnetic storage media, primarily hard disks, are widely used to store computer data as well as audio and video signals. In the field of computing, the term magnetic storage is preferred and in the field of audio and video production, the term magnetic recording is more commonly used. The distinction is less technical and more a matter of ...

3. Magnetic-tape data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-tape_data_storage

   The device that performs the writing or reading of data is called a tape drive. Autoloaders and tape libraries are often used to automate cartridge handling and exchange. Compatibility was important to enable transferring data. Tape data storage [2] is now used more for system backup, [3] data archive and data exchange. The low cost of tape has ...

4. Tape drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tape_drive

   A tape drive is a data storage device that reads and writes data on a magnetic tape. Magnetic-tape data storage is typically used for offline, archival data storage. Tape media generally has a favorable unit cost and long archival stability. A tape drive provides sequential access storage, unlike a hard disk drive, which provides direct access ...

5. Data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_storage

   Data storage is the recording (storing) of information in a storage medium. Handwriting, phonographic recording, magnetic tape, and optical discs are all examples of storage media. Biological molecules such as RNA and DNA are considered by some as data storage. [1] [2] Recording may be accomplished with virtually any form of energy. Electronic ...

6. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

   Drum memory – a magnetic data storage device used as the main working memory in many early computers; i-RAM – a DRAM-based solid-state storage device produced by Gigabyte, operating as a SATA hard disk drive; Magnetic storage – the concept of storing data on a magnetised medium using different patterns of magnetisation

7. Magnetic-core memory - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic-core_memory

   The first use of magnetic core was in the Whirlwind computer, [19] and Project Whirlwind's "most famous contribution was the random-access, magnetic core storage feature." [20] Commercialization followed quickly. Magnetic core was used in peripherals of the ENIAC in 1953, [21] the IBM 702 [22] delivered in

8. Magnetic tape - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_tape

   Magnetic tape is a medium for magnetic storage made of a thin, magnetizable coating on a long, narrow strip of plastic film. It was developed in Germany in 1928, based on the earlier magnetic wire recording from Denmark. Devices that use magnetic tape can with relative ease record and play back audio, visual, and binary computer data.

9. Magneto-optical drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magneto-optical_drive

   A Magneto-optical disc surface has sector partition rectangles. A magneto-optical drive is a kind of optical disc drive capable of writing and rewriting data upon a magneto-optical disc. 130 mm (5.25 in) and 90 mm (3.5 in) discs are the most common sizes.
