What is a RAM? Random Access Memory (RAM)
What are the difference a RAM and hard-disk - RAM holds the data in the circuitry that is directly connected to the system board. - The hard-disk storage places the data on magnetic media. - RAM is a temporary storage and permanent storage RAM has lesser storage capacity than hard-disk storage.
What kind of memory is RAM classified as? - Volatile memory, once the power is off, the memory contained is lost.
What are the characteristics that can be used to describe memory and storage devices? - Cost, Capacity, Volatile, Non-Volatile, Speed.
Difference between Primary and Secondary storage. ● Primary storage is faster and more expensive, directly accessed by the CPU E.g. are RAM, Cache with the exception of ROM (Read-Only-Memory) ● Secondary storages are Non-Volatile, Large capacity. E.g. are Hard disk, Tape Drives
What is DDR? Double Data Rate Synchronous Dynamic Random Access Memory.
What are the differences between DDR2, DDR3, and DDR4? - Speed: DDR2 < DDR3 < DDR4 - Power consumption: DDR2 (1.8V) > DDR3 (1.5V) > DDR4 (1.2V) - DDR4 is more expensive than DDR3. Not easy to find DDR2.
What is the purpose of processor cache? - One of the uses of the processor cache is to store data that future request of the data can be faster. E.G Locality of reference or Frequency of reference.
What is the formula for Average Memory access time? Average memory access time = hit time + (miss rate x miss penalty) - Access time = Overall time to get the data. - Hit time = time took to retrieve data from the cache.
What is the formula of Average access time and Latency? - Average access time = latency + average seek time - Latency = 30,000/Spindle Speed
How do we interpret the Average access time formula? - Latency: Disk latency is the time it takes for the selected sector to be positioned under the read/write head or is commonly known as the rotational delay. - Seek time: Seek time is the time taken for a hard disk controller to locate a specific piece of stored data.
What is the difference between sequential access and direct(random) access? Random access - Hard disk Sequential access - Tape drive Sequential access mean that to access a group or an element, it is accessed in a predetermined sequence. Random access means that it can access a group or an element of a data at any given condition or addressable location.
What are the factors affecting the transfer rate of the storage device? - Transfer Rate: Disk-to-buffer data transfer rate - Access Time: Time to access the data on an HDD - Besides access time, the access speed will also be affected by the latency delay and the connector to the device
What are the differences between HDD and SSD? ● SSDs have no moving parts ● SSDs have faster access time (read/write) ● SSDS -have a higher cost per byte figure ● SSDs are more robust/ less fragile ● SSDs consume less power ● SSDs have a smaller physical size ● SSDs are unaffected by magnets and magnetic fields
