What is stable storage?
Stable storage is a classification of computer data storage technology that guarantees atomicity for any given write operation and allows software to be written that is robust against some hardware and power failures. To be considered atomic, upon reading back a just written-to portion of the disk, the storage subsystem must return either the write data or the data that was on that portion of the disk before the write operation. Most computer disk drives are not considered stable storage because they do not guarantee atomic write; an error could be returned upon subsequent read of the disk where it was just written to in lieu of either the new or prior data.
The most important advantage of disk storage over tape storage?
disk storage-> direct data access storage tape storage -> serial data access storage
What is the difference between fixed storage and removal storage?
The best example of fixed storage in a computer is the hard disk. A frequent example of removal storage is a thumb drive / USB stick.
What are hard disk drive?
Hard disk drive is a storage device.its is a non-volatile storage device
What is disk failure?
Disk failure is about the malfunctioning of the disk storage device that is caused by booting the computer from the files. The disk storage device will no longer perform well and it is needed to be troubleshoot.
Is a hard disk a storage?
no
The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk is called a?
The smallest addressable unit of storage on a disk is called a sector.
Is disk drive is storage or input or output device?
Disk drive storage can be both an input and an output device.
High-density floppy disk has a storage capacity of?
The floppy disk which is commonly referred to as a high density floppy disk is a 3.5 inch disk. It has a storage capacity of 1.44 MB.
Difference in term of cost among volatile non volatile and stable?
Volatile storage: if storage media loses data while power goes off, it is termed as volatile storage media for example RAM. It is the fastest among the three in terms of data access time. Non-volatile storage: If storage media retains data even while power goes off, it is termed as non-volatile storage media. For example: hard disk. It is faster than stable storage but slower as compared to volatile storage. Stable Storage:Information that is residing in stable storage is certainly not lost (theoretically). A natural catastrophe may result in a loss if not the probability of data loss is negligible. For example by using multiple hard disks as in the case of RAID technology. This is the slowest of all storage media mentioned above.
Which has maximum space storage ROM or hard disk?
hard disk
Is a hard disk primary storage?
no
