"Disc" and "disk" are interchangeable terms, unless you are talking
about vertebra; in which case "disc" is the correct term. Otherwise,
they are nominally equally applicable. However, I believe most would
use the more correct word, "disk", in almost every instance, your
preference for distinguishing media from hardware assemblies
notwithstanding.
