| available disk space | beschikbare schijfruimte (Memory that is not allocated to any program) |
| available disks | beschikbare schijven (A storage pool that exposes physical disks that are currently available for inclusion in a storage pool on a particular storage subsystem) |
| available hard disk space | beschikbare vasteschijfruimte (Memory that is not allocated to any program) |
| basic disk | standaardschijf (A physical disk that can be accessed by MS-DOS and all Windows-based operating systems. Basic disks can contain up to four primary partitions, or three primary partitions and an extended partition with multiple logical drives) |
| differencing virtual hard disk | differentiërende virtuele harde schijf (" A virtual hard disk that stores the changes or "differences" to an associated parent virtual hard disk for the purpose of keeping the parent intact. The differencing disk is a separate .vhd file that is associated with the .vhd file of the parent disk. Changes continue to accumulate in the differencing disk until it is merged to the parent disk.") |
| disk-based web site | website op schijf (A web site hosted on a local computer) |
| disk bottleneck | schijfknelpunt (A condition that occurs when disk performance is reduced to the extent that overall system performance is affected) |
| disk cache | schijfcache (A portion of a computer's random access memory (RAM) set aside for temporarily holding information read from disk. A disk cache does not hold entire files, as does a RAM disk (a portion of memory that acts as if it were a disk drive). Instead, a disk cache is used to hold information that either has recently been requested from disk or has previously been written to disk. If the required information remains in a disk cache, access time is considerably faster than if the program must wait for the disk drive mechanism to fetch the information from disk) |
| disk configuration information | schijfconfiguratiegegevens (Information in the Windows registry on assigned drive letters, simple volumes, striped volumes, mirrored volumes, spanned volumes, and RAID-5 volumes. You can change the disk configuration by using Disk Management) |
| disk drive | schijfstation (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| disk duplication | schijfduplicatie (The process of using third-party hardware or software to copy a full master Windows installation onto the hard disks of multiple destination computers. The master computer and destination computers must have compatible hardware abstraction layers (HALs). The destination computer can be delivered directly to customers, or it might require additional processing on the factory production line) |
| disk extent | schijfgebied (A contiguous run of sectors on one disk) |
| disk partition | schijfpartitie (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| double-density disk | diskette met hoge dichtheid (A disk created to hold data at twice the density (bits per inch) of a previous generation of disks. Early IBM PC floppy disks held 180 KB of data. Double-density disks increased that capacity to 360 KB. Double-density disks use modified frequency modulation encoding for storing data) |
| dynamic disk | dynamische schijf (A physical disk that provides features that basic disks do not, such as support for volumes that span multiple disks. Dynamic disks use a hidden database to track information about dynamic volumes on the disk and other dynamic disks in the computer. You convert basic disks to dynamic by using the Disk Management snap-in or the DiskPart command-line tool. When you convert a basic disk to dynamic, all existing basic volumes become dynamic volumes) |
| Dynamic Disk Fair Share | dynamische evenredige schijfverdeling (A feature that prevents sessions from over-utilizing disk usage by equal distribution of disk I/O among sessions) |
| dynamically expanding virtual hard disk | dynamisch expanderende virtuele harde schijf (A virtual hard disk that grows in size each time it is modified. This type of virtual hard disk starts as a 3 KB .vhd file and can grow as large as the maximum size specified when the file was created. The only way to reduce the file size is to zero out the deleted data and then compact the virtual hard disk) |
| Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | wizard Virtuele harde schijf bewerken (A wizard that is used by advanced users to perform specific operations on their existing virtual hard disks such as compacting their virtual hard disk, merging it, converting it to another type or expanding its size) |
| fixed-size virtual hard disk | virtuele harde schijf met vaste grootte (A virtual hard disk with a fixed size that is determined and for which all space is allocated when the disk is created. The size of the disk does not change when data is added or deleted) |
| floppy disk | diskette (A reusable magnetic storage medium. The floppy disk used today is the rigid 3.5-inch microfloppy that holds 1.44 MB. It is called floppy because the first varieties were housed in bendable jackets) |
| floppy disk drive | diskettestation (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| hard disk | harde schijf (An inflexible platter coated with material in which data can be recorded magnetically with read/write heads) |
| hard disk drive | hardeschijfstation, harde schijf (A hardware device, or a logical partition of it, that reads data from and writes data to hard disks) |
| hybrid hard disk | hybride harde schijf (A hard disk that contains a small amount of solid-state nonvolatile memory which, when used as a cache, can realize significant benefits such as faster booting, extended battery life, and a more rugged PC) |
| hybrid hard disk | hybride vaste schijf (A hard disk that contains a small amount of solid-state nonvolatile memory which, when used as a cache, can realize significant benefits such as faster booting, extended battery life, and a more rugged PC) |
| leaf disk | leafschijf (The last disk in a chain with no child disks attached to it) |
| MBR disk | MBR-schijf (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | wizard Nieuwe virtuele harde schijf (A wizard that is used by advanced users to create custom virtual hard disks for virtual machines. The purpose of the New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard is to gather the basic information from the user necessary to create a new virtual hard disk) |
| Primary disk | primaire schijf (The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows) |
| quorum disk | quorumschijf (The cluster disk on which configuration data is maintained in the quorum log, cluster database checkpoint, and resource checkpoints. The quorum disk is managed by the quorum resource, which is usually a special kind of physical disk resource) |
| unallocated disk space | niet-toegewezen hardeschijfruimte (Any unpartitioned and unformatted space on a hard disk) |
| virtual disk | virtuele schijf (A collection of one or more physical disks from a previously created storage pool) |
| virtual floppy disk | virtueel diskettestation (A file-based version of a physical floppy disk. A virtual floppy disk is stored as a file with a .vfd file name extension) |
| virtual hard disk | virtuele harde schijf (The storage medium for a virtual machine. It can reside on any storage topology that the host operating system can access, including external devices, storage area networks, and network-attached storage. The file format is .vhd) |
| Windows Disk Diagnostic | Windows Schijfcontrole (Feature of Windows that proactively detects impending disk failures and can alert the support center to replace the failing hard disk before total failure occurs. For administrators, this feature will guide them through the process of backing up their data so the hard disk can be replaced without data loss) |
| Windows Disk Protection | Windows-schijfbescherming (A feature that helps protect the Windows partition that contains the Windows operating system and other programs from being permanently modified from user session to user session) |
| zero power optical disk drive | station voor optische schijven met zero power-functie (Pertaining to the ability to reduce the power consumption of optical disk drives in the operating system to zero to save energy when the drives are not in use) |
