Detailed explanation-1: -Can be easily damaged, will slow down and eventually break over time. Slower access than Solid State Drives. The main storage device in most computer systems.
Detailed explanation-2: -Disadvantages of a magnetic disk: Difficult to maintain the security of information. Not ideal for devices that require access required is of sequential nature than direct or random nature. A disk drive or disk failure results in loss of entire data stored on it.
Detailed explanation-3: -The advantages that come with magnetic storage include permanent storage and flexibility of editing storage files. Hard drives are cheap to make and offer high speed accessibility. The disadvantages for magnetic storage include susceptibility to error and low portability.
Detailed explanation-4: -Susceptible to Physical and Environmental Damage Another disadvantage of magnetic tape as a storage medium is its susceptibility to physical and environmental damage. This may lead to data loss, data alteration, and/or permanent tape damage.
Detailed explanation-5: -One of the biggest disadvantages is that it’s slow. Because data is written to tapes sequentially, it can take a long time to back up large amounts of data. And if you need to restore your data from a tape backup, it can also take a long time to retrieve the information you need.
