Either can hold more than the other depending on which units you are comparing. The largest Zip drives can hold 750 Mb. The limit to microdrives is 8000 Mb (8 Gb) if they are formatted with a file system that can address so much memory.

What are the four most common data types?

Common data types vary depending on the hardware, the application and numerous other factors. Therefore there can be no definitive list of the most common data types. Below are a few that are frequently found in a variety of applications: Text or string data Integer values, frequently 2, 4 or 8 bytes long Floating point numeric data, usually several bytes long Boolean data (i.e. true or false) Byte (a single byte that holds data defined by the application) Word (two bytes holding data defined by the application) There are many more data types not listed.

Why was the drive write speed affected by the ram?

The drive write speed can be affected by RAM because the RAM acts as a buffer that temporarily holds data before it is written to the storage drive. If the RAM is insufficient or slow, it can create a bottleneck, causing delays in data transfer to the drive. Additionally, if the system is using virtual memory or paging due to low RAM, it can further slow down the write operations as data is swapped between RAM and disk. Thus, faster and more ample RAM can enhance overall writing performance.


What is a micro-instruction?

microinstruction: An instruction that controls data flow and instruction-execution sequencing in a processor at a more fundamental level than machine instructions.

How do you restore a shrunk hard disk drive to its original state in size?

As data is saved to a hard drive, the free space lessens until the there is no more space for further data - the drive is full. I assume this is what is meant by the "shrunk" hard disk drive in the question? Formatting the drive will return the drive to the original size. Note: formatting doesn't actually wipe the drive completely, the data is still on the drive. Only the links to the data is severed, so the computer acts as though the drive is blank and it can write new data to the drive.


Which hold more info 4gb or 512 mb flashdrive?

A 4 GB flash drive holds significantly more data than a 512 MB flash drive. Specifically, 4 GB is equivalent to 4,096 MB, which means the 4 GB drive can store approximately eight times the amount of information compared to the 512 MB drive. Therefore, if you need more storage capacity, the 4 GB option is the better choice.
