  7. 7Data is written and read with a laser. CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray are examples of this type of storage.Optical storageData is written and read with a laser. CDs, DVDs and Blu-Ray are examples of this type of storage.
  8. 8Data is stored by magnetising the surface of flat, circular plates called platters. These platters rotate at a very high speed.magnetic storageData is stored by magnetising the surface of flat, circular plates called platters. These platters rotate at a very high speed.
