What two types of fragmentation can arise on a hard disk drive?
Fisk fragmentation, and A.I.R.Y fragmentation.
Does a Hard Drive read data faster randomly or sequentially?
Assuming no fragmentation, a hard drive reads data faster sequentially.
Is partitioning same as fragmentation?
No. Partitioning is the process of creating a section of a hard drive that is read as a separate drive by the computer (For example, if you have a 100GB C drive, you can split that into a 70GB C drive and a 30GB D drive). Fragmentation is the process overtime where the files on a hard drive become disorganized and can eventually affect the performance of the computer.
What happens if an operating system encounters a used cluster as it writes a file to a hard drive?
It splits information in pieces and writes it in different parts of a hard drive. This is one of reason where the fragmentation comes from.
What is fragmentation and its significance?
Fragmentation is when a single file's data becomes distributed across a hard drive, taking longer to read it. Fragmentation generally only occurs in Microsoft's technique(s) of storing data, since Apple and Linux both use different methods.
What happens to the computer if the stored files are fragmented?
Fragmentation of files is common on a Window's hard drive, and running the defragging program will resolve this.
Do you need a hard drive to play CD?
No, but you need to have a hard drive to put them on your xbox.
Why you need to delete unwanted files?
Because unused files accumulate space on hard disk and also causes fragmentation of hard disk.
How many volts need a hard drive?
No volts need a hard drive. However hard drives need a voltage. Usually about 5 for the data more for the physical movement of the drive.
When files stored on the hard drive are broken up and stored in different locations this is known as being?
Fragmentation. You can solve this using a disk defrag program.
What is hard drine fragmentation?
its your moms down thingy
What is the defention of fragmentation?
Fragmentation (chemistry), a technique to study structure of molecules Fragmentation (computer) a phenomenon of computer storage Fragmentation (economics), a process of globalisation Fragmentation (music), a compositional technique Fragmentation (sociology), a term used in urban sociology Fragmentation (weaponry), a feature of explosive weaponry File system fragmentation Feudal fragmentation IP fragmentation, a process in computer networking a synonym for hadronization with regard to quarks In waste management, breaking up waste materials as you can see, theres going to be a lot of definitions
