What is DASD?

DASD stands for Direct Access Storage Device. It refers to storage devices, typically hard disk drives (HDDs) or solid-state drives (SSDs), that allow data to be accessed directly at any location on the device, as opposed to sequential access storage like magnetic tape. DASD is commonly used for storing operating systems, applications, and user data in computer systems.
