| comp., MS | available disk space | voľné miesto na disku (Memory that is not allocated to any program) |
| comp., MS | basic disk | základný disk (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 | poistný disk |
| comp., MS | digital video disk | disk DVD (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-based web site | webová lokalita na lokálnom disku (A web site hosted on a local computer) |
| comp., MS | disk bottleneck | kritické miesto na disku (A condition that occurs when disk performance is reduced to the extent that overall system performance is affected) |
| comp., MS | disk cache | disková vyrovnávacia pamäť (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) |
| comp., MS | disk configuration information | informácie o konfigurácii disku (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 | disková jednotka (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| comp., MS | disk duplication | duplikovanie disku (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 | oblasť disku (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| comp., MS | disk space | miesto na disku (The amount of data that can be stored on a disk, usually measured in bytes) |
| comp., MS | Disk Utilization report | hlásenie o využívaní disku (A DPS report that provides statistics on disk capacity, allocation, usage, and availability) |
| comp., MS | double density disk | disketa s dvojitou hustotou (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) |
| comp., MS | double-density disk | disketa s dvojitou hustotou (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) |
| comp., MS | dynamic disk | dynamický disk (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 | Sprievodca úpravami virtuálneho pevného disku (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 | disketa (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 | floppy disk drive | disketová jednotka (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| comp., MS | hard disk drive | jednotka pevného disku, pevný disk (A hardware device, or a logical partition of it, that reads data from and writes data to hard disks) |
| comp., MS | hybrid hard disk | hybridný pevný disk (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 | disk typu MBR (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| comp., MS | Microsoft Disk Operating System | operačný systém MS-DOS (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 | Sprievodca novým virtuálnym pevným diskom (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 | prostriedok fyzického disku (A disk on a cluster storage device. Physical disks are supported as cluster resources by a Resource DLL) |
| comp., MS | quorum disk | disk kvóra (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 | RAID (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 | poistný disk |
| comp., MS | unallocated disk space | nevyhradené miesto na disku (Any unpartitioned and unformatted space on a hard disk) |
| comp., MS | virtual disk | virtuálny disk (A collection of one or more physical disks from a previously created storage pool) |
| comp., MS | Windows Disk Diagnostic | Windows Diagnostika disku (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) |
