Disk drives are random-access devices while tape drives are serial What does this mean?
Disk Drives have Read/Write Heads on a swinging moveable access arm that moves the head out to the area to be recorded/read-from. Random access device. Much faster
Tape drives have fixed position heads and the tape medium has to move past the head in order to transfer/record data from the head to the medium. Sequential access is slower.
How do you check if your external hard drive is backing up?
You can find the device on your computer, go into it, and check if your files are there. If they are, it is backing up your stuff.
Will a prepaid Samsung phone work without a MicroSD card?
Of course it will. The MicroSD (if the phone can accept one, not all do) has nothing to do with the operation of the phone, it is only for your personal use (e.g. storing photos).
Perhaps you were thinking of a SIM card instead of a MicroSD card. Phones that use SIM cards (most cellphones do) cannot work at all without the SIM card, because it provides the Subscriber Information that associates the physical phone with your account in the phone provider's computers.
Which type of removable storage device can only access its data sequentially and not randomly?
lba. Tape Drives. The biggest disadvantage of using tape drives is that data is stored on tape by sequential
access; to read data from anywhere on the tape, you must start at the beginning of the
tape and read until you come to the sought-after data
What some examples of solid state storage devices?
Solid state drives, or SSD, are storage devices that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory. Flash drives, compact flash, and MultiMedia cards are examples of solid state storage devices.
Moves the read write heads across the disk surfaces in unison?
The fact that they're bolted together? If you've ever taken a multi-head drive apart, you'd see that all the heads are generally attached to the same moving piece, so they have no choice but to move "in unison."
What are the two categories of business-related individual criminal activities?
Business-related individual criminal activities are normally broken down into two categories: internal and external.

What are the storsge devices of computer?
The storage devices are the Hard drive (usually the "C" drive in folders example, My Computer, Music or Photo files), the CD & DVD drives, The floppy drive or Zip drive if equipped and remote storage is achieved through the USB ports to Memory sticks, outboard hard drives and SD cards or similar. Hope this helps, Fullait
They consume less power and have no moving parts.
Is plastic ok for turpentine storage?
No. Most plastics are permeable for the small molecules the are part of turpentine. Use Glass to store turpentine.
Serial- reads and writes in sequence. Like a cassette tape and maybe a floppy not sure.
Random- Can read and write between non continuous data. CD, DVD.
Parallel-reads and writes portions of data in parallel using separate lines or mediums. Such as an Ethernet cable- its made up of about 8 wires each wire sends a bit of data parallel with 7 other bits to send 8 total bits in parallel .

How is the CPU linked to the primary storage and other devices in the computer system?
The CPU (processor?) handles all processes run on the computer, so in this case it processes and sends data to the hard drive (storage).
You can think of the cpu a bit like your brain, in a way it controls everything else connected to the computer and is itself probably the most important computer component.
Explain RAM and ROM in detail with daigram?
RAM (random access memory):
It is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computer's processor. RAM is much faster to read from and write to than the other kinds of storage in a computer, the hard disk, floppy disk, and CD-ROM. However, the data in RAM stays there only as long as your computer is running. When you turn the computer off, RAM loses its data. When you turn your computer on again, your operating system and other files are once again loaded into RAM, usually from your hard disk.
RAM can be compared to a person's short-term memory and the hard disk to the long-term memory. The short-term memory focuses on work at hand, but can only keep so many facts in view at one time. If short-term memory fills up, your brain sometimes is able to refresh it from facts stored in long-term memory. A computer also works this way. If RAM fills up, the processor needs to continually go to the hard disk to overlay old data in RAM with new, slowing down the computer's operation. Unlike the hard disk which can become completely full of data so that it won't accept any more, RAM never runs out of memory. It keeps operating, but much more slowly than you may want it to.
How many drives can a single SATA cable support?
Each cable is designed to support exactly one drive.
What is the difference between storage or stowage?
On a ship or other moving vehicle, storage would be where cargo is kept. Stowage is any holder made for specific contents, usually fasten-able so that nothing shifts during transit.
For example, I store groceries in the trunk of my car. The spare tire is stowed underneath, securely bolted.

Is ram a removable storage or startionary storage?
RAM (random access memory) is a type of removable storage. A hard drive, on the other hand, is stationary storage.
What are the disadvantages of direct-view storage tube?
There are many disadvantage such as-

2-selected part of the picture can't be erased
