What is the difference between fault tolerance and backup?
Fault tolerance means that the hard drives can continue to function(with litle or no downtime) even if there is a problem with one of the drives. Backup means that you are copying the data to another location for archical in the event of a disaster.

What to do when a USB acts intermittently?
A quick reformat, unless the device has failed completely. Sometimes you will have usb flash and solid stage drives conflict with each other and you will have to change the letter of each driver.
To access triple and quadruple-layer you need to have installed a _______
BD-XL drives
What method NAND flash memory use to avoid saving data to faulty blocks?
Bad Block Management. This method maintains a table of the faulty blocks within the USB flash device.
USB Flash Drives
Before removing usb flash drive, make sure to eject the USB from the task bar notification. Right click and select eject. if this option is not available, shut down the computer to avoiddata corruption or loss.
Fault tolerance
Capability of the hard drive system to continue working after there is a problem with on of the drives.
RAID 10
Combines the advantages of RAID 1 and RAID 0. Requires a minimum of two disks but will usually have four or more. The system contains at least two mirrored disks that are then striped. Fault tolerance. 2 (usually 4)
Recording Speed of CD-RW
Compact Disc-ReWritable 24x (3.6 MB/s or 32x (4.8MB/s)
Recording Speed of CD-R
Compact Disk-Recordable 48x (7.2 MB/s) or 52 (7.8 MB/s)
RAID 0
Data is striped acrross multiple disks in an effort to increase performance. No Fault tolerance. need 2 minimium disks.
What is called when each disk is connected to a separate controller?
Disk Duplexing
What is the format USB flash drives are shipped?
FAT32
xD- Picture Card
Flash memory technology used in older digital cameras.
Requirement of Class 10
Full HD video recording (1080P) has a minimium data writing speed of 10 MB/s.
How can you dislodges jamed optical trays?
Many drives have a pinhole near the volume knob. Insert a paper clip into the hole to attempt to free the tray and CD.
RAID 1
Mirroring. Data is copied to two identical disks. If one disks fails, the other continues to operate. When each disk is connected to a separate controller, this is known as Disk Duplexing. Faul tolerance. 2 (and 2 only)
Type of memory in a USB flash drive
NAND flash memory is the core of a USB flash drive.
Difference between NAND and NOR flash memory
NAND small amounts of failures incure, NOR is free of failures.
What are the three sizes of SD cards?
SD (32mm x 24mm), mini sd (21.5mm x 20mm) and micro sd (15mm x 11mm)
SD cards and SDXC and divided into classes depending on their transfer rates.
SD class 2, 4,6 and 10 as well UHS 1 and 3, each with a different range of speeds.
What is the new version of SD card
SDHC The newer eXtended capacity
SD card
Secure Digital Cards for the most part, are technically the same type of device as a USB flash drive.
RAID 5
Striping with Parity. Data is stripped across multiple disks; fault tolerant parity data is also written to each disk. If one disk fails, the array can reconstruct the data from the parity information. Fault tolerance and 3 minimum number of disks.
What happen if your computer can't read and SDHC or SDXC?
The firmware is outdated. Do in update to the firmware.
How is SATA CD-ROM connect?
The same way as their hard drive. a 7-pin data cable and 15-pin power cable. This send stereo music directly through the data cable.
Why CD technology was created?
This new technology replaced the old technologies, such as floppy disks or Zip drives.
How RAID disks supposed to be built?
Using identical disks. same magnetic drives or same Solid-states drives.
In which operating system RAID 1 is not available?
Windows Vista but is available in Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate and WIndows 8/8.1
Why DVD have more capacity than CD?
because the pits on the surface are smaller than the pits on the CD. .74 micrometeres compared to 1.6 micrometers.
first step when RAID disk stop working
check if the disk are securely connected to the controller adapter card. then check that the driver for the RAID device is installed and updated.
