They're all magnetic. There are magneto-optical drives like DVD-RAM that use a combination of technologies. And there's fiber channel, which is the early version of Serial SCSI, using optic cables. But that still leaves hard drives as magnetic.

Most low end SCSI drives use the same mechanics as high end IDE drives, the interface card being the only difference. In fact, I've swapped interface cards between SCSI and IDE drives.

Remember the old super slim drives from Seagate in the mid to late 90's that had such a high failure rate? One of those.

I think I did a Quantum 6.4 gig drive too, but I can't remember with certainty.
