Limitations of Primary Memory: Limited capacity because the cost per bit of storage is high Volatile - data stored in it is lost when the electric power is turned off or interrupted. So as a result additional memory called auxiliary memory or secondary memory is used. Following are the features of Auxiliary or Secondary Storage: 1. Permanent or Non-volatile Storage: The data which is stored in those devices is not lost when the power is switched off. The data is retained. 2. Voluminous

Secondary Storage Devices COMPUTER Compiled by Belieber9N Class - IX PROJECT Secondary Storage Devices As we all know that the main memory stores the data in a temporary manner which means all the data will be lost when the power goes off. To keep our data safe we use secondary storage devices. These are used for storing the data in a permanent manner so that all the data will remain stored whether the power is switched on or switched off‚ the power will never

Network-attached storage (NAS) is file-level computer data storage connected to a computer network providing data access to a heterogeneous group of clients. NAS not only operates as a file server‚ but is specialized for this task either by its hardware‚ software‚ or configuration of those elements. NAS is often manufactured as a computer appliance – a specialized computer built from the ground up for storing and serving files – rather than simply a general purpose computer being used for the role

File Storage and Retrieval Information stored in a mass storage system is conceptually grouped into large units called files. A typical file may consist of a complete text document‚ a photograph‚ a program‚ a music recording‚ or a collection of data about the employees in a company. Mass storage devices dictate that these files be stored and retrieved in smaller‚ multiple byte units. For example‚ a file stored on a magnetic disk must be manipulated by sectors‚ each of which is a fixed predetermined

release it when production levels do not meet the requirements. Only then can we rely on‚ say‚ wind or solar power as our primary sources of energy . There are other reasons why it is necessary to store large amounts of energy. Depending on how storage is distributed‚ it may also help the network withstand peaks in demand. Storing energy allows transmission and distribution to operate at full capacity‚ decreasing the demand for newer or upgraded lines. Storing energy for shorter periods may be useful
