Question

compare the data storage mechanism in magnetic and optical disks

Answer 1

Data storage mechanism in optical disks:-

• Optical storage is generally a storage method  where the data is read and written with an optical laser
• This storage is basically used  for backup purposes
• Data can be only read by laser beam.

Data storage mechanism in Magnetic disks :-

• Magnetic storage is the process of storing of data by a magnet.
• There are various process of magnetization which is used to store the data basically in the form of a non volatile memory.
