What is storage of a computer?
The storage of a computer is in the hard drive. There is also the random access memory which temporarily stores data.
Are optical disk disks are random access storage devices?
floppy disks are read/write storage devices, they are a backing store, a non-volatile long term storage which will not lose data when power is lost.Random access storage is the original term for RAM, the random access memory term was used a a marketing term and has stuck since.Another AnswerYES - floppy disk are Random Access storage devices.
Storage devices access data in how many fast of a seconds?
thousandths
Examples of storage devices?
THER ARE TWO TYPES OF STORAGE DEVICES: RAM(RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY DEVICE) CD WRITERAND ROM(READ ONLY MEMORY)e.g DVD ROM.Uhh no that's completely wrong there are many examples of storage devices. There is magnetic storage devices, optical storage devices, silicon storage devices, and others i cant think of.~Dawn~
How does the access time of storage compare with the access time of memory?
access times from memory is 200,000 times faster than access times from storage devices due to the mechanical movement involved.
Is access time of memory is slow compared with the access time of storage?
access times from memory is 200,000 times faster than access times from storage devices due to the mechanical movement involved.
What are the better direct access storage devices now in the market now?
Some of the best direct access storage devices in the market now are external hard drives and flash cards. Flash cards are common in phones and tablets.
Name three serial access secondary storage device?
Random Access memory
What is a storage area network?
A Storage Area Network (SAN) is a dedicated network of storage devices that are not otherwise accessible through the local network (e.g. there is no OS to interface with). This allows servers to have access to large blocks of storage that appear to be local to the server, but are in reality physically separated. This can make backups easier, or provide access to large storages of media files (such as a site like YouTube).
What is a hardware or software device running on a computer that access the storage devices on the SAN?
iSCSI initiator
What is the Storage-area network SAN?
A () is a dedicated network that provides access to consolidated, block level data storage. SANs are primarily used to enhance storage devices, such as disk arrays, tape libraries, andoptical jukeboxes, accessible to servers so that the devices appear like locally attached devices to theoperating system. A SAN typically has its own network of storage devices that are generally not accessible through the local area network by other devices. The cost and complexity of SANs dropped in the early 2000s to levels allowing wider adoption across both enterprise and small to medium sized business environments. A SAN does not provide file abstraction, only block-level operations. However, file systems built on top of SANs do provide file-level access, and are known asSAN filesystems or shared disk file systems.
Storage devices and technologies vary in terms of access speed capacity portability and price true or false?
True
