Computer Memory and Storage

RAM of the computer is also known as main memory. Random Access Memory is the memory that the computer uses to temporarily store the information.

It is a temporary storage medium in which we can copy and paste the item from one place to another.

It is a physical division of data in a disk drives. It is divided into horizontal lines.

This technology is popular for video and image production and editing, pre-press applications and other applications requiring high bandwidth.

This is the process in RAID technology that refers to writing the same data to two disk drives connected to the same controller.

Hard disks provide substantially greater storage capacity compared to optical media (CDs), solid-state ROM chips, or floppy disks. A modern hard drive offers terabytes of storage, whereas CDs hold ~700MB, floppies max at 1.44MB, and ROM provides minimal megabyte-scale capacity. Hard disks remain the highest-capacity consumer storage option.

Memory partition is the correct answer.

Backing store can make a copy of all information stored on a disk and restore the entire disk or selected files.

Rotational delay is the amount of time it takes for the disk to rotate until the required location on the disk reaches the read/write head.

Dynamic Random Access memory: It is the memory that requires refreshing every few milliseconds. It stores each bit of data in a separate capacitor within an integrated circuit.

It is a storage device, which is used to store data or information. CD, DVD, Hard disk or floppy are types of disks.

It is container for data to be stored. It is a bag that contains items, or a set of things agreed to as a whole. In packing, data is packed in such a way that large amount of data can be stored on a small space.

Primary memory (RAM, cache) is much faster than secondary memory (hard disk, tape, SSD). The statement claims secondary is faster, which is false. Primary memory has direct CPU access and uses volatile but fast technology.

Magnetic tape is secondary (auxiliary) storage - it stores data permanently but has slow access. RAM is primary volatile memory, ROM is primary non-volatile memory, and PROM is a type of ROM. Secondary memory includes hard disks, tapes, and external storage.
