(i). Should be stored in optimum temperature ranges, e.g. 10oC – 52oC for diskettes.
(ii). Should be protected in their cases when not in use in order to safeguard their recording surfaces against environmental influences such as dust, touch, direct sunlight, radiations, etc.
(iii). When loading/ mounting the media into its reading/writing unit, care should be taken to avoid brushing the recording surfaces against the mechanical components of the drive.
(iv). Should never be brought near moving or magnetic bodies. Such bodies might cause the demagnetization of the recording surfaces (i.e., remove the magnetic property from the surfaces) making recording in terms of magnetism impossible.
(v). Put on the power before mounting the media and off after removing the media from the drive. This is because the fluctuation in power might also cause de-magnetization.
