Across

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

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

3. A narrow concentric circle on a disk's surface where magnetic data is stored during read/write operations.

4. Storage device using flash memory to store data, providing faster access and greater durability than hard disk drives.

5. The length of time computer systems store data to ensure accessibility and compliance with policies or regulations.

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

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

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

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

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

Down

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

12. A fixed-size subdivision of a disk track used to store a specific amount of data bytes.

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

14. A data redundancy method storing identical copies on separate physical drives to ensure data availability and fault tolerance.

15. Copying and storing data in a separate location to protect it from loss or damage.

16. Storing duplicate data copies to prevent loss if original data is damaged or system fails.

17. A computer component that stores data permanently using magnetic disks coated with material for reliable data access.
