The software and data are the intangible parts of the file system

Explanation / Answer

The above hardware stated by you are absolutely fine ..

Coming to your question ..

The file system is either stored on a hard drive or a network drive which is the tangible part of the file system?

The data is always stored in hard drive, since it is the storage media. Where as, we use network drive as a storage media too.. but fact is network drive intends to store in hard drive . Hard drive is tangible since it is physical item. But network drive is in-tangible product, since it is not phycical one and we cannot touch.

Yes software and data are in-tangible parts.. since they are not physical and we cannot touch. So they are non-tangible.
