B. magnetic disks
C. compact disks
D. magnetic drives
Solution: The regularly spaced electric pulses per second are referred to as the clock cycles. All the jobs performed by the processor are on the basis of clock cycles.
Q: Bernoulli disks are a type of magnetic floppy disks.
A. True
B. False
C. ..
D. none
Solution: Bernoulli disks are a type of magnetic hard disks and not floppy disks. They are also called as zip disks. It uses a single hard disk platter encased in a plastic cartidge.
Q: A plug and play storage device that simply plugs in the port of a computer is __________
A. Flash drive
B. Compact disk
C. Hard disk
D. CD
Solution: A flash drive often called as a pen drive enables easy transport of data from one computer to another. It comes in various shapes and sizes and may have different added features.
Q: What does USB stand for?
A. Universal Signal Board
B. Universal Signal Bus
C. Universal Serial Bus
D. Universal Serial Board
Solution: USB stands for universal serial bus. A flash drive simply plugs in the USB port of a computer.
Q: A device similar to a flash drive ______________
A. Memory card
B. Compact drive
C. Compact disk
D. Memory disk
Solution: Memory card serves a similar purpose as that of a flash drive. It is in the shape of a card. Useful in electronic devices like Camera, music player, etc.
Q: What does RAID stand for?
A. Redundant array of independent disks
B. Redundant array of inexpensive disks
C. Redundant array of intermediate disks
D. Redundant array of improper disks
Solution: RAID is Redundant array of independent disks. It is an array of disks which can store data bits.
Q: A set of hard disk drives with a controller mounted in a single box, forming a single large storage unit is __________
A. Disk array
B. Drives
C. Compact drives
D. Multi-cores
Solution: The answer is disk array. It is commonly known as RAID. As a secondary storage device, provides enhanced performance, enhanced storage capacity and reliability.
Q: The process in which a file is partitioned into smaller parts and different parts are stored in different disks is _______
A. RAID
B. Mirroring
C. Stripping
D. RAID classification
Solution: Enhanced reliability is achieved by using techniques like mirroring and stripping in case of disk arrays. Stripping is the division of a large file into smaller parts and then storing them on different disks.
Q: Which of the following uses multiple hard disk platters mounted on a single central shift?
A. Disk drives
B. Hard disks
C. Disk packs
D. Compact disks
Solution: Disk packs use a number of hard disk platters. Also, they are mounted on a single central shaft.
Q: Which of the following is not a magnetic disk?
A. Floppy
B. Winchester
C. Zip
D. FLASH
Solution: Flash drives are a type of memory storage devices. It is a relatively newer type of secondary storage device which enables easy transfer of data from one computer to another.
