| basic disk | базовий диск (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) |
| boot disk | завантажувальний диск (A floppy disk that contains key system files from a PC-compatible operating system that can boot, or start, the PC. A boot disk must be inserted in the primary floppy disk drive (usually drive A:) and is used when there is some problem with starting the PC from the hard disk, from which the computer generally boots) |
| digital video disk | відеодиск (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) |
| disk bottleneck | вузьке місце" диска" (A condition that occurs when disk performance is reduced to the extent that overall system performance is affected) |
| disk configuration information | дані про конфігурацію диска (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 | дублювання диска (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 partition | розділ диска (A section of space on a physical disk that functions as if it were a separate disk) |
| disk space | дисковий простір (The amount of data that can be stored on a disk, usually measured in bytes) |
| Disk Utilization report | звіт використання диска (A DPS report that provides statistics on disk capacity, allocation, usage, and availability) |
| dynamic disk | динамічний диск (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 | майстер керування віртуальним жорстким диском (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 | дискета (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 | жорсткий диск (A hardware device, or a logical partition of it, that reads data from and writes data to hard disks) |
| hybrid hard disk | гібридний жорсткий диск (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 | MBR-диск (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | майстер створення віртуального жорсткого диска (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 | фізичний диск (A disk on a cluster storage device. Physical disks are supported as cluster resources by a Resource DLL) |
| Primary disk | первинний диск (The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows) |
| quorum disk | диск кворуму (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 | надлишковий масив незалежних дисків (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) |
| startup disk | завантажувальний диск (A disk that contains an operating system and can be used to boot a computer) |
| unallocated disk space | вільний дисковий простір (Any unpartitioned and unformatted space on a hard disk) |
| virtual disk | віртуальний диск (A collection of one or more physical disks from a previously created storage pool) |
| Windows Disk Diagnostic | Діагностика дисків 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) |
