Hard Disk Drives

separate data files and operating system

allow the computer to be dual booted

this changes with time. currently average storage of a hard disk is about 250 GB when purchasing a new computer. The highest amount of space I have seen on a new hard drive is 1.5 TB (that's 1024 GB * 1.5) and the smallest I have seen is down to a few MB (1024 MB = 1 GB) but that's for a very very old hard disk.

There really isn't a standard size. It's all a matter of opinion and depends on what you will be using the computer for. Generally, they range between 100 GB and 500 GB, but can exceed into the 10 TB range (TB stands for terabyte).

If you mean where does information gets stored, this would be your hard disk.

The part which is saving the information is the read and write head of the hard disk.

Hard drive space is measured in bytes. Other units are simply built on the term byte, such as kilobyte (1000 bytes), megabyte (1000 kilobytes or 1 million bytes), gigabyte (1000 megabytes or 1 thousand million bytes) and terabyte (1000 gigabytes or 1 million million bytes).

No, you have to be 16 because you have to take driver's ed in high school and also your young to drive at that age.

A fragmented disk contains temporary Internet files and unused program files that need to be deleted.

YOLO

The computer's hard disk stores data - be that the operating system, application programs, documents or virtual memory.
Stores data that needs to be kept between times when the computer is turned off.

A computer may be backed up by using backup software and then restoring all information using the same software by means of a step by step wizard. All new computers are sold with some version of backup software already installed such as Microsoft Backup Utility. More features may be obtained by purchasing a third party program.

1) These drives are available in wide range torque, speed and power.

2) The control characteristics of these drives are flexible. According to load requirements these can be shaped to steady state and dynamic characteristics. As well as speed control, electric braking, gearing, starting many things can be accomplished.

3) The are adaptable to any type of operating conditions, no matter how much vigorous or rough it is.

4) They can operate in all the four quadrants of speed torque plane, which is not applicable for other prime movers.

5) They do not pollute the environment.

6) They do not need refueling or preheating, they can be started instantly and can be loaded immediately.

7) They are powered by electrical energy which is atmosphere friendly and cheap source of power.

No, CD Drives and CD Burners are two different types of optical drives on personal computers that perform different functions regarding compact disk media.

CD Burners are optical drives can write data on a burnable disk. CDs are comprised of thin layers of dots computers use to burn information on. CD Burners are equipped with a special laser that burns binary code onto the CD's surface. CD Burners can both read and write CD disks.

CD Drives are not equipped with that special burning device, and have only a laser that can read the information stored on a disk. They can only read CD disks.

Each side, or surface, of one hard drive platter is called a head. Windows Vista technology that supports a hybrid drive is called ready drive.

Typically random access memory (RAM) is the primary storage device and the slower rotating magnetic media (disc drive) is the secondary storage device. Other devices like USB thumb drives and other removable media are considered tertiary (3rd level) storage devices

Sectors (the smallest physical storage unit on a disk) is almost always 512 bytes (or 0.5 kb) in size.

Having two optical drives is just another configuration for computers. A user can get a computer with one or two optical drives or more. The optical drives can be of the same type or different. e.g. you can have one BlueRay or HD-DVD drive and another one can be a DVD-RW drive or you can have DVD-RW and DVD-ROM and CD-RW.

You can play songs or movies from one drive while you copy something or make a backup of your data in the second drive. Two drives allows you to copy directly from one drive to another if the drive is write capable.

flash drive? i dont know if you are more specific maybe someone could answer this beeter than me

Flash drive is an extarnal media but the media of a hard drive is disk platter.

Disk partition it involves the dividing of the hard disks into portions as opposed to the using of the hard disk without dividing it. Disk partition is very important since it allows the maximum usage of the disk and it encourages organisation of the disk; it is also easier to change programs without affecting other programs.

You must save separately, you cannot save anything to more than one place at one time. When you save a Word document it automatically saves in Word. Then go back and choose "Save As" and just type the name you want to save in and then box below gives you choices of what locations you want to save in. i.e. saving Word document in Word Perfect.

**actually the temporary storage site for urine is the urinary bladder.

the memory that directly communicates with the CPU is called Cache Memory this is; When the processor(CPU) needs to read from or write to a location in main memory, it first checks whether a copy of that data is in the cache. If so, the processor immediately reads from or writes to the cache, which is much faster than reading from or writing to main memory. A CPU cache is a cache used by the central processing unit of a computer to reduce the average time to access memory. The cache is a smaller, faster memory which stores copies of the data from the most frequently used main memory locations. As long as most memory accesses are cached memory locations, the average latency of memory accesses will be closer to the cache latency than to the latency of main memory.

you have 1TB on a hard drive but you only have 950 gb what happened to the other 50 gb

You can use the universal kit to sexly fit the hard drive into the drive bay.

256 TB though strictly the limit is imposed by using 32 bits to address the clusters not the actual 32-bit processor
