Magnetic storageMagnetic storage or magnetic recording is the storage of data on a magnetized medium. Magnetic storage uses different patterns of magnetisation in a magnetizable material to store data and is a form of non-volatile memory. The information is accessed using one or more read/write heads. Magnetic storage media, primarily hard disks, are widely used to store computer data as well as audio and video signals. In the field of computing, the term magnetic storage is preferred and in the field of audio and video production, the term magnetic recording is more commonly used.
Magnetic-tape data storageMagnetic-tape data storage is a system for storing digital information on magnetic tape using digital recording. Tape was an important medium for primary data storage in early computers, typically using large open reels of 7-track, later 9-track tape. Modern magnetic tape is most commonly packaged in cartridges and cassettes, such as the widely supported Linear Tape-Open (LTO) and IBM 3592 series. The device that performs the writing or reading of data is called a tape drive.
Mémoire (informatique)En informatique, la mémoire est un dispositif électronique numérique qui sert à stocker des données. La mémoire est un composant essentiel, présent dans tous les ordinateurs, les consoles de jeux, les GPS et de nombreux appareils électroniques. Les mémoires sont vendues sous forme de pièces détachées de matériel informatique, ou de composants électroniques. Les différences entre les pièces sont la forme, l'usage qui en est fait, la technologie utilisée, la capacité de stockage et le rapport entre le coût et la capacité.
Data storageData storage is the recording (storing) of information (data) in a storage medium. Handwriting, phonographic recording, magnetic tape, and optical discs are all examples of storage media. Biological molecules such as RNA and DNA are considered by some as data storage. Recording may be accomplished with virtually any form of energy. Electronic data storage requires electrical power to store and retrieve data. Data storage in a digital, machine-readable medium is sometimes called digital data.
Mémoire de masseEn informatique, une mémoire de masse est une mémoire de grande capacité, non volatile et qui peut être lue et écrite, entre autres, par un ordinateur. Technologies désuètes Mémoire à tores magnétiques, carte perforée, ruban perforé, cassette audio, tambour magnétique, disquette et disque magnéto-optique. Technologies en usage Bande magnétique, disque dur, SSD, disque optique (CD, DVD, Blu-ray) et mémoire flash.
Block (data storage)In computing (specifically data transmission and data storage), a block, sometimes called a physical record, is a sequence of bytes or bits, usually containing some whole number of records, having a maximum length; a block size. Data thus structured are said to be blocked. The process of putting data into blocks is called blocking, while deblocking is the process of extracting data from blocks. Blocked data is normally stored in a data buffer, and read or written a whole block at a time.
Hierarchical Storage Managementthumb|upright=1.4|Hiérarchie du Stockage Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM), ou la gestion hiérarchique du stockage, désigne un système permettant le stockage de données de façon hiérarchique. Ce terme est rencontré principalement en informatique. En fonction de différents critères (importance des données, rapidité d'accès nécessaire, etc.), les données sont réparties vers différents supports (bande magnétique, disque dur, mémoire vive, etc.
Disk storageDisk storage (also sometimes called drive storage) is a general category of storage mechanisms where data is recorded by various electronic, magnetic, optical, or mechanical changes to a surface layer of one or more rotating disks. A disk drive is a device implementing such a storage mechanism. Notable types are the hard disk drive (HDD) containing a non-removable disk, the floppy disk drive (FDD) and its removable floppy disk, and various optical disc drives (ODD) and associated optical disc media.
MagnétomètreUn magnétomètre est un appareil qui sert à mesurer selon les cas l'intensité ou la direction d’un champ magnétique, ou l'aimantation d'un échantillon. Il repose sur un élément sensible au champ magnétique : le capteur de champ magnétique qui, lorsqu'il est associé à un dispositif électronique, permet d'extraire la mesure du champ magnétique. Il en existe différents types, basés sur des principes physiques différents. Les magnétomètres sont principalement utilisés dans le cadre d’études géologiques et la détection d’anomalies magnétiques ou d’objets ferreux.
Potential applications of graphenePotential graphene applications include lightweight, thin, and flexible electric/photonics circuits, solar cells, and various medical, chemical and industrial processes enhanced or enabled by the use of new graphene materials. In 2008, graphene produced by exfoliation was one of the most expensive materials on Earth, with a sample the area of a cross section of a human hair costing more than 1,000asofApril2008(about100,000,000/cm2). Since then, exfoliation procedures have been scaled up, and now companies sell graphene in large quantities.
