Magnetic media refers to any data storage device that functions by storing data as magnetic fields on a magnetizable material. Common examples include hard disk drives, magnetic tapes, and floppy disks. However, there are various synonyms for the term 'magnetic media' that describe different subcategories of magnetic data storage. For instance, "magnetic tapes" are a type of magnetic media primarily used to store digital data for computers and backup purposes. Similarly, "magnetic storage devices," "magnetized storage media," and "magnetic disks," are some of the other synonyms that are used for magnetic media. They all refer to devices that use magnetic materials to store and read data digitally.
