Which of the following is not an advantage of magnetic disk storage?

Answer & Solution
Correct Answer: Option B
Option B is not an advantage of magnetic disk storage because:

Magnetic disk storage tends to be more expensive than magnetic tape storage, especially when comparing cost per unit of data storage.

Magnetic tapes are generally used for cost-effective long-term storage and archival purposes, whereas magnetic disks offer faster access times and are used for active storage.

Therefore, stating that disk storage is less expensive is incorrect, making Option B the right choice as it is not an advantage of magnetic disk storage.

Storage capacity: Magnetic disk storage has a much higher storage capacity than magnetic tape storage. For example, a typical hard drive can store several terabytes of data, while a typical magnetic tape cartridge can store only a few hundred gigabytes of data.

Data access speed: Magnetic disk storage is much faster than magnetic tape storage. This is because magnetic disks can access data randomly, while magnetic tape can only access data sequentially.

Durability: Magnetic disk storage is more durable than magnetic tape storage. This is because magnetic disks are not as susceptible to physical damage as magnetic tapes.

Cost: Magnetic tape storage is much cheaper than magnetic disk storage. This is because magnetic tapes are mass-produced, while magnetic disks are not.

Expense Magnetic tapes are less expensive. Magnetic disk is more expensive.

Option should be B as disk is more expensive than tape hence it cannot be advantage.
