A ditical memory device consisting of a flat disk covered with a magnetic coating on which information is stored; a hard disk, floppy disk, and diskette are typically magnetic disks.
A computer disk enclosed in a protective case (hard disk) or jacket (floppy disk) and coated with a magnetic material that permits flux changes on many small sections (magnetic domains) of the disk surface. Flux changes are changes in magnetic polarity and are used to encode information in binary form (one polarity equals 1, the opposite equals 0). The changes are produced at high speed by the read/write head of the disk drive as it passes over the surface of the disk. Because of its properties, a computer disk should be protected from exposure to sources of magnetism, which can damage or destroy the information it holds.
a platter used for storing data magnetically that can be in the form of a hard disk or a floppy disk; widely used with microcomputers.
The most commonly used type of secondary storage for computer programs and data files. magnetic tape In secondary storage, a sequential, high-capacity mass storage and backup medium.
(computer science) a memory device consisting of a flat disk covered with a magnetic coating on which information is stored
A storage medium that records data using magnetic spots on disks made of flexible plastic or rigid metal.
Primary computer storage device
An information storage medium upon which information is recorded on the magnetic surface of a rotating disk, with associated reading and writing heads that are mounted on movable arms.
a storage device used to store data; especially useful for transporting large amounts of data from one computer system to the other or storing large amounts of data or programs not often used
A storage format for digital information used in computers and other new technologies, and read by a magnetic disk drive.
Magnetic-coated disks that record data bits (used for data storage).
A random-access storage medium that's the most popular method for storing and retrieving computer programs and data files. baxxee loobilaa View
Digital media that uses magnetic particles to store data. Both hard disks and floppy disks are magnetic disks.
storage device which uses magnetism of the surface to store data
