Study Notes
Storage Devices
- Volatility in storage devices refers to the ability to retain data when power is turned off.
Random Access
- Random access allows data to be read or written in a non-sequential manner, enabling fast access to any location on the storage device.
Logical File Representation
- Logical file representation refers to how files are organized and structured on a storage device, making it possible to locate and access files efficiently.
SSD Storage Technology
- Flash memory technology is commonly used for data storage in Solid-State Drives (SSDs).
External Hard Drives
- The primary purpose of external hard drives is to provide additional storage capacity and enable data transfer between devices.
Network Storage
- Network storage enables multiple devices to access and share data over a network, providing centralized data management and collaboration.
Storage Technology Comparison
- Optical storage technology typically uses more power and has more moving parts compared to magnetic hard drives.
Windows File Systems
- NTFS and FAT32 are commonly used file systems in Windows operating systems.
Optical Discs
- Pits and lands on optical discs are used to store binary data, which is read by a laser to retrieve the stored information.
- DVDs are not interchangeable across different formats.
Network Storage Function
- The primary function of network storage is to provide a centralized location for data storage and sharing across a network.
Optical Disc Types
- CD-ROM is a type of optical disc that is not rewritable.
Hard Drive Terminology
- Track, sector, cluster, and cylinder are terms associated with magnetic hard drive technology.
Smart Card Storage
- Flash memory technology is commonly used in smart cards.
RAID 0 Storage Configuration
- The main purpose of RAID 0 storage configuration is to provide high-speed data access and storage capacity by striping data across multiple disks.
