| comp., MS | digital video 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 bottleneck | ozko grlo diska (A condition that occurs when disk performance is reduced to the extent that overall system performance is affected) |
| comp., MS | disk cache | diskovni predpomnilnik (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 | informacije o konfiguraciji diska (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 | diskovni pogon (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| comp., MS | disk duplication | podvojevanje diskov (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 | particija (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| comp., MS | disk partition | particija diska (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| comp., MS | disk space | prostor na disku (The amount of data that can be stored on a disk, usually measured in bytes) |
| comp., MS | Disk Utilization report | poročilo o uporabi diska (A DPS report that provides statistics on disk capacity, allocation, usage, and availability) |
| comp., MS | dynamic disk | dinamični 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 | čarovnik za urejanje navideznega diska (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 | disketni pogon (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| comp., MS | hard disk drive | pogon trdega diska (A hardware device, or a logical partition of it, that reads data from and writes data to hard disks) |
| comp., MS | hybrid hard disk | hibridni trdi 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 z zapisom glavnega zagona (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| comp., MS | MBR disk | disk MBR (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| comp., MS | Microsoft Disk Operating System | operacijski sistem 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 | čarovnik za nov navidezni trdi disk (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 | fizično diskovno sredstvo (A disk on a cluster storage device. Physical disks are supported as cluster resources by a Resource DLL) |
| comp., MS | Primary disk | primarni disk (The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows) |
| comp., MS | quorum disk | kvorumski disk (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) |

| comp., MS | Windows Disk Diagnostic | Diagnostika diska (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) |
