ITEC110 part 1

a process that manages how and where data on a storage disk, typically a hard disk drive (HDD), is stored, accessed
and managed.

It is a logical disk component that manages a disk's internal operations

considered simple and reliable, and it is modeled after legacy file systems.

a file system for the Linux OS, and it is a shared disk file system. it offers direct access to shared block storage and can be used as a local file system.

one of the safest and most secure options.

These are magnetic storage devices that have been around since the 1950s

was developed for use with Mac
operating systems. Originally introduced in
1985 for floppy and hard disks

the default file system for Windows products
from Windows NT 3.1 OS onward.

controls the movements of the internal parts and controls the
movement of data into and out of the drive.

mechanical nature of reading and writing data on
rotating platters limits the performance of disk drives to approximately
three orders of magnitude ( 1000 times) less than the performance of data
transfers to memory chips.

it don’t rely on magnets and disks, instead they use a type of flash memory called NAND. semiconductors store information
by changing the electrical current of
circuits contained within the drive.

the process whereby you
store data on a network device, or on a server.

The data written on them is permanent and cannot be removed or overwritten.

Whatever data you save on a blank recordable disk will then be permanently stored on that disk

This allows you can to write new
data on them and erase unwanted data from
them as much as you want.

physical media where data is stored in a disk drive

are rigid, thin circles that spin under the power of the
drive spindle motor.

a slicing technique that creates
cross sections of a solid of revolution by slicing
perpendicular on the axis of rotation and calculating
the volume of the solid by adding the volumes of the
infinitely many thin cross-sections.

defines how files
and directories are stored, how disk space is
managed, and how to make everything work
efficiently and reliably.

It contains all the key parameters about the file system
and is read into memory when the computer is booted or the file
system is first touched.

block belongs to which file. It contains the attributes and disk

introduces
problems like if the original file or the shared file are appended
with new features then it will not be updated in both the copies
of the file, it is updated only at its original location.
