This is one way that Flash Memory storage devices can be built.
- ROM, all such devices are a type of Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM), memory that although it can be written to takes orders of magnitude longer to complete a write cycle than it takes to complete a read cycle.
- 16GB, size in this case about 16 billion bytes.
- NAND, the type of logic function used internally by the device, This can be either NAND or NOR but NAND seems to have become most common. NAND means NOT AND while NOR means NOT OR, just as in the corresponding logic gate types.
- Flash, is a specific type of PROM architecture that reduces the impact of the slow write cycle by writing large "sectors" of many bytes simultaneously instead of one byte at a time as in other PROM architectures. Flash also provides many "sector" buffers that the computer may be writing data into while the chip is busy programming one "sector" buffer into the memory. Flash is ideal to provide a solid state replacement for harddisks.
What is the rate for storage at data center?
The rate for storage at data centre depends on how much data you want stored. You can store a few gigabytes for as little as a few dollars a month or a ton of gigabytes for hundreds of dollars.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of using different types of storage mediums?
Advantages of different types of storage mediums are having multiple backups in multiple locations that can be accessed from a variety of systems. Disadvantages are that they can be easily lost or stolen and may be more easily corruptible.
Can a solid state drive overheat?
A solid state drive is nearly impossible to overheat unless it is being deliberately or accidentally heated through a source other than the computer itself. The chips and interface themselves produce somewhat less heat than a traditional hard drive and are therefore less likely to interfere with any hardware that !is! sensitive to heat.
Is USB device replacing floppies as a means of transporting data from one computer to another?
One would think so. The limitation of a 3.5 inch floppy is 1.44 MB of data. USB memory sticks most commonly hold at least 1.0 GB and upwards of data. Besides the obvious smaller size, also the convenience of the USB stick makes it easier to use. The majority of PC's being manufactured these days does not include a floppy drive.
What would be the problem if you use older cd-rOM drive to play cd-r pr cd-rw?
there really wouldn't be a problem, the only problem you might encounter is the fact that an old CD-ROM might not play CD-r's and CD-rw's depending on how old the drive is.
Storage hardware store the data.Like Hard disk,Pen Drive,CD/DVDs these are storage devices.
How can you put pictures off the computer into your sd card?
First, the memory card should be inserted into the computer, and a window opened for the card. The window of the drive holding pictures on the computer should also be opened. Then the pictures can be selected and copied from the computer window and pasted to the card window.
What is the function of external device?
External devices can carry out all sorts of different functions.
What is Printer terminology in Citrix?
1.Local Printing.
2.Network Printing
3.Client Printing
Client Printer: The printer connected to the Worksation & the drivers are installed on the citrix server for printing.
Network Printer: The Printer connected to the print server & the drivers should be available on the citrix server.
Local Printer: The printer connected to locally to the citrix server & the driers are installed for the print operation.
Storage goods are not what is stored, they are goods used to store items in and goods to aid in storing items. Although both categorized as storage related goods they fulfill separate but overlapping uses. Storage buildings such as a storage shed, a storage warehouse, a coverall building when used for storage, a storage container, or even a shipping container modified for storage are storage related goods. Similarly items such as boxes, wardrobes, bed bags, tape, bubble wrap and Styrofoam peanuts are also classified as storage goods but in a subclass called storage supplies. The sale of "Storage Related Goods" is often a supplement income to storage facilities, however there are businesses that specialize in just the sale of of one type of storage related good such as temporary storage buildings.
What is the capacity of the primary memory if the hard disc size is 504MB?
There is no relationship between the two.
Are there media storage cabinets made fireproof?
There are media storage cabinets made to be fireproof. The price range varies depending on the size of the cabinet needed.
Why is it important to collect large amounts of data?
the more information you have and know, the more power you will have. better to know more important information.
Knowledge is power
-Francis Bacon
A directory is commonly called a "folder" - it is a file that has a list that redirects the computer to the actual location of the files that are in that list. It's used more of as a organizational tool.
How to burn documents onto a DVD or CD?
, burn documents onto a CD/DVD, that's so easy, you just need to use a right program to help you, you can use RZ Free DVD Burner, its free and easy to use, it can directly burn any files or folders onto any DVD/CD disc, you can burn your documents onto a DVD or CD as data disc for backup, hope it could help you, but you need to keep the total size of the documents below the capacity of the DVD disc...hope this infors can help you!
Where would it be sensible to use a floppy disk for software distribution?
At the present time (2012) it is not sensible unless the software is under 1.4 MB.
In the past, AOL sent out thousands of floppy's in the mail
with their AOL Program on it.
What is the difference between laptops parts and desktop parts?
- Laptop parts are not the same from computer to computer, whereas desktop parts, with the exception of the plastic case, are fully interchangeable.
- Laptop parts are WAY smaller
- Laptop parts are extremely hard to replace because laptops are made so that you cannot open it, even to just clean the fan.
Does computer data stored on a disk drive have a weight or mass?
No, not any more than the weight of an abacus increases as the number it represents increases.
In fact, you could argue that the disk is already full when you originally buy it. Each bit is set... albeit to values to mean that nothing is contained. Whenever you 'write' to disk you are replacing the previous bit values to new ones.
How do you cool off the hard drives in your computer?
HDD coolers off ebay the ones with heatsinks are better or add more fans to your computer case
