physical medium
Material information carrier
A physical medium is a material substance through which something travels or is transmitted.
Sound waves move through air as their physical medium; light passes through glass.
In data storage, physical media are tangible formats like CDs, DVDs, or vinyl records—distinguished from digital downloads or streaming: I still prefer to own music on physical media.
