Longitudinal data system. Longitudinal data system is a data system capable of tracking student information over multiple years in multiple schools.

Essentially, you are recording on a magnetic material, where bits (a collection of magnetized particles) are laid out end-to-end. Longitudinal recording is the actual method of how the bits are recorded on disk platters.The direction of this magnetic charge is horizontal to the media, meaning the north and south poles of the magnetized particles are lined parallel to the surface of the disk.he mechanism that reads and writes data on a hard disk. longitudinal recording Longitudinal recording aligns data bits horizontally in relation to the drive's spinning platter, parallel to the surface of the disk. perpendicular recording. Perpendicular recording aligns data bits vertically. perpendicular to the disk.
