_______________ is an electronic component that store instructions waiting to be executed by the processor

___________ holds many components of the system and provides connectors for other peripherals.

The discs that are used to store instruction in a magnetic hard drive are called __________.

Which of the following is/are Online Storage?

1. A ______________________ is a flash device with a storage capacity similar to a small hard drive. They are faster than hard drives, they have no moving parts, and they have lower power consumption than hard drives.

1. A_________________________ is a thick magnetic disk encased in a thicker protective shell. It consists of several aluminum platters, each of which requires a read/write head for each side.

1. When implementing ______________________, a stripe set breaks data into units and stores the units across a series of disks by reading and writing to all disks simultaneously. This provides an increase in performance but it does not provide fault tolerance. A failure of one disk in the set means all data is lost.

1. When implementing__________________________, a mirrored volume stores data to two duplicate disks simultaneously. If one disk fails, data is present on the other disk, and the system switches immediately from the failed disk to the functioning disk. Mirroring provides fault tolerance for a single disk failure, but does not increase performance.
