Across
  1. 2. part of the CPU that tells the computer what to do
  2. 5. the part of a computer that processes images, videos, and games
  3. 8. the part of an HDD that reads and writes data on the disks
  4. 10. a small, super-fast memory inside the CPU that stores frequently used data
  5. 11. Hard Disk Drive; uses spinning disks and a read/write head to store data magnetically
  6. 12. a disk you can only read data from, cannot write on it
  7. 13. individual processors inside the CPU that let it do multiple tasks at once
  8. 15. the pathways that move data around inside the CPU and to other parts of the computer
  9. 16. Storage that uses magnets to write and read data, like a hard drive
  10. 17. Storage that uses lasers to read and write data, like CDs and DVDs
  11. 19. small, super-fast storage locations inside the CPU
  12. 20. Files stored on the internet on servers you can access from anywhere
  13. 21. temporary memory that holds data for programs you are currently using
Down
  1. 1. this shows how fast the CPU can run instructions
  2. 3. a disk that can be written, erased, and reused multiple times
  3. 4. a disk you can write to once but cannot erase and reuse
  4. 6. storage accessed directly by the CPU
  5. 7. part of the CPU that does calculations and logic decisions
  6. 9. storage not accessed directly by the CPU
  7. 14. Storage with no moving parts that uses flash memory for fast access
  8. 18. Solid State Drive; a fast storage device with no moving parts
