Can you put information on a external hard drive without it being copied to the hard drive in your computer?
Yes. Choose to save documents you're working on to the external drive, and they will not be saved on your internal drive. Be careful, though, Microsoft Office does cache files locally, in case of a power failure or crash to save your progress, and these may possibly be recovered from an internal drive. Your external drive should be given a drive letter, D:, E:, F:, etc.

a computer
What are the functions of a hard disk?
A hard disk acts as a storage device for data. Data is also retrieved from the hard disk. The data that is kept in the hard disk is not erased even when the computer is switched off.
What factors affect the speed of a computer?
Many things determine a computer's speed. Just about everything inside of your computer (hardware & software) can make a difference. The first and probably most common measurement of speed is the clock-speed of your main CPU. This is measured in Megahertz or Mhz. Quite simply the more the better, and 1000s of Megahertz are measure in Gigahertz or GHz. So 2000 Mhz = 2GHz. Another new development in computer technology has also allowed for multiple cores in a single CPU. This can allow multiple independent processing cores to exist on a single board. With this technology your CPU can processes simultaneous tasks without over-taxing a single CPU. Many other things must be taken into consideration as well though, how much RAM your computer has, how fast your hard drive spins, the size of your hard-drive's main platter, what operating system you have, how many other devices are connected to the computer, how much software you have loaded on to it, etc. The list can literally include everything inside of a computer. A better way to examine the question would be to figure out what task you want to speed up. This could include how fast your computer turns on, how fast it can process multi-media types of data (audio/video), or server level computing for applications, services, and user management. Different hardware and software components affect speed in different ways and sometimes optimizing a computer to perform one specific task can yield better performance results.
Where is data held in a computer system?
The data is held on the hard drive in a computer system. The data is changed into single numbers and then recorded by the hardware on the computer before storage.
What is hard drive cache,does it make your computer run faster?
The hard drive cache is used when accessing files on your hard drive and a larger cache does improve file operation speeds.
What do computers use to improve hard disk access time?
defragmenting your computer can improve the time it takes to load things, but by default, your computer most likely will not do this by itself the hard drive itself has a cache which means it can return data faster without reading it from the disk
How do you check computers cache memory in windows 7?
Look in the temporary internet files on the hard drive of the computer to find the cache memory in windows 7. There you should be able to see the cache files.
What does the cache(8 meg) mean or do for a for a hard drive?
The cache size is refers to the size of buffer on the hard drive. The bigger the the buffer, the less the hard drive has to access the drive. Also it improves the time that the computer needs to access data from the drive.
What size is the hard drive's internal cache?
This hard drive has a 100Gb internal cache.
What is the purpose of the cache?
Cache is a special kind of memory which is can be used as a spare to store data
Can pictures you dont save to your computer stay on your hard drive Like if you open a link to it and just look at it will it go on your hard drive?
Yes. Most browsers cache images on the hard drive.
What are the type of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What do you need to do to make files available for use in Windows XP Professional when you disconnect from a network?
Configure your computer to cache versions of the files to your hard disk
What are the two types of cache memory?
There are different type of cache memory: processor cache memory, cache memory ram,1 cache memory l2, cache memory, CPU cache memory, disk cache memory, hard disk cache, cache memory motherboard.
What is the place on computer where operating system stores current used info temporarily?
Temporary files on the computer are stored is a memory area - either on disk or in RAM called a cache. The CPU stores temporary program data in an on-chip cache. Browsers store temporary information called 'cookies' on the hard drive.
What is the most important device in a computer that without it the computer cannot function?
The hard drive
