  2. Magnetic storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_storage

    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 preference. Other examples of magnetic storage media include floppy disks, magnetic tape, and magnetic stripes on credit cards.

  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 ...

  6. 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.

  7. 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 ...

  9. 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 ...
