Across

1. Magnetic storage device that uses several disks coated with magnetic material to store data permanently.

2. Component of magnetic storage devices that reads and writes data onto disk by changing magnetic orientation of the disk's surface.

3. Duration for which data has to be preserved and kept accessible.

4. Process of copying and storing data in a different location for safekeeping in case of data loss or damage to the original data.

5. Interface standard for connecting storage devices such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives to a computer's motherboard.

6. Technique of storing duplicates of data to ensure that it is not lost in case of failure or damage to the original data.

7. Disk inside a hard disk drive where data is magnetically stored.

8. Process of preserving data over a long period of time and ensuring that it remains accessible and usable.

9. Narrow concentric circle on the surface of a disk where data is magnetically stored.

10. Electronic module that manages the flow of data between the computer and the hard disk drive.

11. Long plastic ribbon coated with magnetic material on which data can be magnetically recorded.

12. Type of storage that uses magnetic fields to write and read data on a disk or tape.

Down

13. Division of a track on a disk containing a fixed number of bytes.

14. Type of data redundancy where two copies of the same data are stored on separate magnetic disks.

15. Storage device that uses NAND-based flash memory chips to store data, offering faster access and higher durability than traditional hard disk drives.

16. Magnetic storage device that uses a tape to store data sequentially.

17. Process of restoring lost or damaged data files from a backup or other copies of the data.
