What is the difference between hard disk and memory?
Hard disk is recorded, main comes and goes.
What are the similarities of a usb flash drive and a floppy disk?
There are practically no dissimilarities between flash memory and floppy disk. Both media store the data in bits, however the method in which this is done is completely different. Floppy disks store data on a moving plater using magnetism, the data must be physically accessed by the read head. Flash memory stores the data as charge and can be accessed by directly addressing the memory. Flash memory has no moving parts, it is durable and data corruption due to external factors is practically non existent.
What is the process to bring a computer to its usual state?
If a process requests something for which it must wait, it will be blocked. When the process is in the Blocked State, it is eligible for swapping to disk, but this is transparent in avirtual memory system, where blocks of memory values may be really on disk and not in main memory at any time. Note that even unused portions of active processes/tasks (executing programs) are eligible for swapping to disk. All parts of an executing program and its data do not have to be in physical memory for the associated process to be active.
Where data can be stored?
Data can be stored on floppy disk, hard disk, memory stick, CD or DVD.
Is a storage device used to store data when the data is not being used in memory?
A hardware device, such as a hard disk or floppy disk, used to record and store data.
What technique is used to transfer data directly from the hard disk to memory?
DMA - Direct Memory Access
What technique is used to transfer data directly from the hard disk to memory.?
DMA - Direct Memory Access
Why hard disk is called secondary memory?
Since primary memory is not sufficient to store large volumes of data, externally some memory is added.this is known as hard disk which is also known as secondary memory
What is insertion in Data Structure?
it is when you put data in a form of structure on a memory disk or anything that inputs something.
What technique is being used to transfer data directly from the hard disk to memory?
DMA - Direct Memory Access
Is a memory stick an input device or a output device?
No, it is an external data storage device. Analogous in function to an external hard disk drive, but all solid state with no moving parts.
Process of marking tracks and sectors to prepare the disk to receive data is called the disk?
Formatting
