| basic disk | βασικός δίσκος (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) |
| disk-based web site | ιστοσελίδα σε τοπικό δίσκο (A web site hosted on a local computer) |
| disk bottleneck | συμφόρηση δίσκου (A condition that occurs when disk performance is reduced to the extent that overall system performance is affected) |
| disk configuration information | πληροφορίες παραμέτρων δίσκου (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 duplication | αναπαραγωγή δίσκων (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 | έκταση δίσκου (A contiguous run of sectors on one disk) |
| disk partition | διαμέρισμα δίσκου (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| disk space | χώρος στο δίσκο (The amount of data that can be stored on a disk, usually measured in bytes) |
| Disk Utilization report | αναφορά χρήσης δίσκου (A DPS report that provides statistics on disk capacity, allocation, usage, and availability) |
| double density disk | δισκέτα διπλής πυκνότητας (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) |
| double-density disk | δισκέτα διπλής πυκνότητας (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 | δυναμική μονάδα δίσκου (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) |
| Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | Οδηγός επεξεργασίας εικονικού σκληρού δίσκου (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) |
| floppy disk | δισκέτα (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) |
| hard disk drive | μονάδα σκληρού δίσκου (A hardware device, or a logical partition of it, that reads data from and writes data to hard disks) |
| hybrid hard disk | υβριδικός σκληρός δίσκος (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) |
| MBR disk | δίσκος MBR (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | Οδηγός νέου εικονικού σκληρού δίσκου (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) |
| physical disk resource | πόρος φυσικού δίσκου (A disk on a cluster storage device. Physical disks are supported as cluster resources by a Resource DLL) |
| Primary disk | πρωτεύων δίσκος (The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows) |
| quorum disk | δίσκος απαρτίας (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) |
| Redundant Array of Independent Disks | πλεονάζουσα συστοιχία ανεξάρτητων δίσκων (A mechanism for storing identical data on multiple disks for redundancy, improved performance, and increased mean time between failures (MTBF). RAID provides fault tolerance and appears to the operating system as a single logical drive) |
| unallocated disk space | ελεύθερος χώρος στο δίσκο (Any unpartitioned and unformatted space on a hard disk) |
| Universal Disk Format | ενιαία διαμόρφωση δίσκων (A file system defined by the Optical Storage Technology Association (OSTA) that is the successor to the CD-ROM file system (CDFS). UDF is used for removable disk media like DVD, CD, and magneto-optic (MO) disks) |
| virtual disk | εικονικός δίσκος (A non-physical disk exposed to the user as if it were a real disk. The disk may be backed by either a file or memory) |
| Windows Disk Diagnostic | Διαγνωστικά δίσκων των Windows (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) |
