Across
  1. 2. The RAID level that provides fault tolerance for a single disk failure. Stores data to two or more duplicate disks simultaneously.
  2. 3. A file that has been deleted from the directory listing, but the file allocation table (FAT) still shows the clusters allocated to the file.
  3. 4. A single accessible storage area within a file system.
  4. 8. *BLANK* employs two recordable dye layers, each capable of storing about 4.7 GB; the total disk capacity is 8.5 GB
  5. 9. *BLANK* is the process of preparing a partition to use a specific file system
  6. 11. A type of resiliency that writes parity information across the physical disks using bitwise arithmetic. It requires that you have at least three storage devices and provides fault tolerance against only one failure at a time.
  7. 12. A popular solid-state drive often used in portable computing devices.
  8. 13. A disc drive that uses laser light or electromagnetic waves within or near the visible light spectrum as part of the process of reading or writing data to or from optical discs.
  9. 15. RAID level that combines disk striping across multiple disks with parity for data redundancy. Provides an increase in performance for read operations. However, write operations are slower
  10. 21. You should use Disk Management or *BLANK* to create, format, and manage partitions and volumes.
  11. 22. The measurement of the number of input/output operations that can be performed per second.
  12. 23. The RAID implementation that uses a driver and the system CPU for controlling RAID operations. This is the slowest form of RAID.
  13. 24. An utility that verifies the file system integrity of a hard disk.
  14. 26. An SSD function that configures the operating system to communicate with an SSD device and tell it the blocks of data on the device that are no longer required and can be deleted
  15. 29. A type of resiliency that writes to three storage devices and requires at least five storage devices. This option provides redundancy for the data if two storage devices fail at one time.
  16. 31. An option that adds space from the storage pool to the storage space. When you select the Simple option, all data in the storage space is lost if one of the drives fails.
  17. 34. A flash memory device is often used in digital cameras.
  18. 35. CD-ROM stands for compact disc
  19. 38. The information/data that can be used to rebuild a raid after on of the drives in the raid has failed.
  20. 39. A communication standard that was developed for SSD's
  21. 43. A container in a volume that holds data
  22. 44. You can convert a basic disk to a *BLANK* disk without losing data in existing partitions.
  23. 46. A configuration that places multiple disks in a single logical storage unit.
  24. 48. SATA standard that supports up to 6 Gbps.
  25. 49. A flash device with a large storage capacity comparable to a hard disk.
  26. 50. A *BLANK* is a one-dimensional stream of bits treated as a logical unit.
  27. 52. This RAID level has no overhead to worry about or resources consumed to power it
  28. 54. A logical division of a storage device.
Down
  1. 1. An optical media standard that can be used to store large amounts of different types of data, such as computer data, video, and audio. storage is typically somewhere between 4.7 and 9.39 GB
  2. 5. A type of resiliency that writes to two storage devices and requires at least two storage devices. This option protects you from a single storage device failure.
  3. 6. SATA devices use a special *BLANK* connector that supplies 3.3, 5, and 12 volts
  4. 7. A long-term storage device that uses a thick magnetic disk made of several aluminum platters in a protective shell.
  5. 10. The original SATA standard.
  6. 14. An option that lets you allocate storage spaces larger than the disk space available in the pool.
  7. 16. A type of memory that can be erased. It also can be reprogrammed.
  8. 17. The RAID implementation that uses a special controller card that includes a RAID processor.
  9. 18. When you install a new hard drive it needs to be initialized because of this.
  10. 19. A unit of disk space allocation for files and directories.
  11. 20. Microsoft's default file system.
  12. 25. The RAID implementation that uses RAID features within the operating system.
  13. 27. Was originally developed for high-definition video is intended to eventually replace DVD
  14. 28. A portion of the hard disk that cannot be used.
  15. 30. SATA standard that supports up to 3 Gbps
  16. 32. An electronic interface that allows communication between a motherboard's data paths or bus and a computer's hard disks.
  17. 33. Indicates a hardware failure, I/O errors, or other corruption. Can also be caused by a delay in reading the disk in Disk Management.
  18. 36. JBOD is not a *BLANK*
  19. 37. A *BLANK* is an empty folder on the existing volume that points to another partition.
  20. 40. A disk sub-system that combines multiple physical disks into a single logical storage unit.
  21. 41. RAID level that stripes data across mirrored pairs and across multiple disks for data redundancy. Requires a minimum of four disks. Also known as a stripe of mirrors
  22. 42. *BLANK* is another term for JBOD because the volume spans multiple physical disks.
  23. 45. You connect the *BLANK* to the lowest SATA channel number of the installed devices.
  24. 47. The latest generation of standards for hard disk and other storage devices.
  25. 51. A file system designed to support large flash drives such as USB flash drives and SD cards.
  26. 53. The RAID level that provides an increase in performance and requires a minimum of two disks. Does not provide fault tolerance. A failure of one disk in the set means all data is los
