Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Magnetic media, such as hard drives and magnetic tapes, are more susceptible to wear and tear, environmental conditions, and magnetic fields than optical discs (e.g., CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray discs). Optical discs are generally more durable because they are less affected by environmental factors and do not suffer from the same type of mechanical wear since they are read with a laser rather than physical contact.
