| comp., MS | basic disk | pamata disks (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) |
| mech.eng. | bursting disk | drošības membrāna |
| comp., MS | digital video disk | ciparvideodisks (A form of storage characterized by high capacity (roughly 650 MB) and the use of laser optics rather than magnetic means for reading data. Optical disk storage commonly used for audio, video, and computer data. DVDs range in capacity from 4.7 GB to 17 GB, and can store significantly more than a CD-ROM) |
| comp., MS | disk bottleneck | diska sastrēgums (A condition that occurs when disk performance is reduced to the extent that overall system performance is affected) |
| comp., MS | disk configuration information | diska konfigurēšanas informācija (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) |
| comp., MS | disk drive | diskdzinis (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| comp., MS | disk duplication | diska dublēšana (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) |
| comp., MS | disk partition | diska nodalījums (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| comp., MS | disk space | vieta diskā (The amount of data that can be stored on a disk, usually measured in bytes) |
| comp., MS | Disk Utilization report | diska izmantošanas atskaite (A DPS report that provides statistics on disk capacity, allocation, usage, and availability) |
| comp., MS | dynamic disk | dinamiskais disks (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) |
| comp., MS | Edit Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | Virtuālā cietā diska rediģēšanas vednis (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) |
| comp., MS | floppy disk | diskete (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) |
| comp., MS | hybrid hard disk | hibrīds cietais disks (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) |
| comp., MS | MBR disk | MBR disks (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| comp., MS | Microsoft Disk Operating System | Microsoft diska operētājsistēma (A Microsoft computer operating system with a command-line interface that is used to control many internal computer functions, such as running programs and organizing and maintaining files) |
| comp., MS | New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | Jauna virtuālā cietā diska izveides vednis (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) |
| comp., MS | physical disk resource | fiziskā diska resurss (A disk on a cluster storage device. Physical disks are supported as cluster resources by a Resource DLL) |
| comp., MS | Primary disk | Primārais disks (The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows) |
| comp., MS | quorum disk | kvoruma disks (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) |
| comp., MS | Redundant Array of Independent Disks | neatkarīgu disku redundants kārtojums (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) |
| mech.eng. | rupture disk | drošības membrāna |
| comp., MS | unallocated disk space | neiedalīta diska vieta (Any unpartitioned and unformatted space on a hard disk) |
| comp., MS | Universal Disk Format | Universālais diska formāts (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) |
| comp., MS | virtual disk | virtuālais disks (A collection of one or more physical disks from a previously created storage pool) |
| comp., MS | Windows Disk Diagnostic | Windows diska diagnostika (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) |
