What are the functions in storage tanks?
To test if a storage tank is a function you can use the vertical line test (i.e. if a vertical line can be drawn through the storage tank where it intersects more than one point it is NOT a function).
For example:
function= vuvu
non-function= void
(A vertical line intersects two parts of the 'd' and 'o'.)
How long does a WDMyPassport 1tb hard drive last?
Ideally, forever. Practically, everything will fail because of forces working against it. Friction for mechanical
things and friction of electrons for electronic things. Mfg specifies MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) as a guide
to how long a device will last on average based on design parameters.
What are the letters associated with these drives?
In the 'old days', micro-computers didn't have drives. They used tape storage, etc. When 'floppy' drives began to be used (late 70's) they needed to be assigned some value so you could say which one to read from or write to. Someone (I'm not sure who) decided on using the letters 'A' through 'Z' for them. Most computers would only have had one or two floppy drives, so they typically were assigned to 'A' and 'B'. When 'hard' drives began to appear they also needed to be assigned a value, and because 'A' and 'B' were likely to already be used the hard drive was assigned to 'C'. Later additional hard drives may have been installed and they would be assigned 'D', 'E', etc. So you will probably notice that if your computer has a floppy drive it will be designated as 'A', and your hard drive will be designated as 'C'. The usage of letters is Windows way of telling the different drives apart. A:\ is usually designated for a 3.5" floppy disk, B:\ is usually designated for a 5.25" floppy disk, C:\ is generally assigned to the hard drive and is what Windows is installed on. D:\ is generally assigned to a CD-ROM. Depending on your own computer, this may or may not hold true (e.g. if you have 2 hard drives, one may be assigned D:\ and your CD-ROM drive E:\).

If you are talking about computers, external storage is just anyplace that is not on the actual computer you are working with. It could be an external hard drive, it could be a disk, CD-ROM, or it could be a server.

Is Yahoo mail actually unlimited?
Yes, it does. Yahoo mail is the only web browser that advertises unlimited storage. Others, such as Hotmail and Gmail have an idea of unlimited but clarify the limits. Gmail storage grows a little bigger every second, Hotmail says it grows with you.
