A compact disk (CD) is an optical storage device.
Yes both are secondary storage devices. Primary storage devices include RAM & ROM. Secondary storage devices include magnetic disks like hard disks and cds(optical disks)
Of these only CD-ROMs use LASERs to access the data. The others are magnetic storage devices.
A magnetic disk is a disk which stores information magnetically, and is read/written with a small magnetic head (e.g. a hard disk)An optical disk is a disk which stores information optically, usually as a series of pits and peaks, and is read/writMagnetic Storagea) Stores data in magnetic form & it doesn't use laser to read/write datab) It is affected by magnetic field.c) It has high storage capacity.d) Data accessing is high as compared to CD's and DVD's.e) Magnetic storage devices are ; Hard disk , Floppydisk, Magnetic tape etc.Optical Storagea) Stores data optically & uses laser to read/write.b) It is not affected by magnetic field.c) It has less storage than hard disk.d) Data accessing is high as compared to floppy.e) Optical storage devices are ; CD-ROM,CD-R,CD-RW, DVD etc.
hard disk
DVD RoM
No. Floppy disks are magnetic media that rely on magnetic polarization to write data to the disk much like a hard drive. Unlike CD media they can be erased by a strong magnet field that effectively scrambles the data tracks.
CD-ROM
cd-rom means where hsert our disk
yes
"CD" = "Compact Disk" , "ROM" = "Read Only Memory".
CD-rom is a compact disk used with computers. =D
