Explain various performance measures of disks.
Basic disks and dynamic disks are two types of hard disk configurations in Windows. Most personal computers are configured as basic disks, which are the simplest to manage. Dynamic disks can make use of multiple hard disks within a computer to duplicate data for increased performance and reliability.
RAID is the use of multiple disks and data distribution techniques to get better Resilience and/or Performance RAID stands for: Redundant Array of Inexpensive / Independent Disks
memory, processes, disks and I/O devices
RAID 0 can be used to improve performance through concurrent access and/or create large logical disks out of multiple physical disks.

A striped volume writes to the physical disks evenly, rather than filling allotted space one and then moving to the next. Striped volume increases the performance while, striped and spanned volumes does not provide fault tolerance.
No. They are only "virtual" even in the movie. But you can buy replicas in various styles.

There are many measures of memory access. They vary in speed the fastest being magnetic tapes. That may not be a popular choice in this technological age. The next fastest would be magnetic disks, followed by Semiconductor memories and then compact disks.
they are floppy disks
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) A disk subsystem that is used to increase performance or provide fault tolerance or both. RAID uses two or more ordinary hard disks and a RAID disk controller. In the past, RAID has also been implemented via software only. In the late 1980s, the term stood for "redundant array of inexpensive disks," being compared to large, expensive disks at the time. As hard disks became cheaper, the RAID Advisory Board changed "inexpensive" to "independent." More Questions? E-mail me at oliverbikers@yahoo.com
