Magnetic tape is the oldest magnetic storage device, using thin tape wrapped around reels to store data in sequences of 1s and 0s. While slow, magnetic tape provides large storage capacity and is inexpensive, making it suitable for backing up computer networks. Floppy disks also used magnetic technology to store data on thin, plastic disks. Though once common, floppy disks had very low storage capacity and data transfer rates, and the disks were delicate.

2. Magnetic Tape
 This is the oldest of the four devices.
 Magnetic tape is very thin and it is wrapped onto a reel.
 Data is stored on this deice due to ‘1’ and ‘0’.
 Data is read from a sequence.

3. Magnetic Tape
advantages
 Can be used when there is a large amount
of data which needs to be stored.
 Used for backup of computer networks.
 It is not very expensive.
disadvantages
 It is very slow.
 needs another tape to update data.

4. Floppy Disk
 It is the old method of storing data.
 Information was kept on a thin plastic disk.
 Data is read on a floppy disk drive.
 Data is read using direct data access.

5. Floppy Disk
Advantages
 Have a low cost.
 Can be write protected easily.
 there are small light and easy to carry.
Disadvantages
 Very low storage capacity.
 Floppy disk are very delicate.
 show data transfer rate.
