  Is a VHS tape a disk then?

  source

  • Hildegarde@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    No, that’s a tape. It has to be dis(c/k) shaped to be a disk.

  Is a plate optical or magnetic?

  source

  • Hildegarde@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    Depends on how you store data on it. If you write with a pen its optical.
