Across

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Down

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

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

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

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

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

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