Question

compare the data storage mechanism in magnetic disk and optical disk ? answer in tabular form with 3 - 4 points each .​

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.
