| basic disk | peruslevy (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) |
| differencing virtual hard disk | eroavaisuuksien näennäiskiintolevy (" A virtual hard disk that stores the changes or "differences" to an associated parent virtual hard disk for the purpose of keeping the parent intact. The differencing disk is a separate .vhd file that is associated with the .vhd file of the parent disk. Changes continue to accumulate in the differencing disk until it is merged to the parent disk.") |
| 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) |
| disk-based web site | levypohjainen sivusto (A web site hosted on a local computer) |
| disk configuration information | levyn kokoonpanotiedot (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 Utilization report | levyn käyttöraportti (A DPS report that provides statistics on disk capacity, allocation, usage, and availability) |
| double density disk | DD-levyke (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 disks increased that capacity to 360 KB. Double-density disks use modified frequency modulation encoding for storing data) |
| dynamic disk | dynaaminen levy (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 | Ohjattu näennäiskiintolevyn muokkaus (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 | levyke (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) |
| floppy disk drive | levykeasema (A hardware device that reads data from and writes data to floppy disks) |
| hard disk drive | kiintolevy (A hardware device, or a logical partition of it, that reads data from and writes data to hard disks) |
| hybrid hard disk | yhdistelmäkiintolevy (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-levy (A disk that uses the master boot record (MBR) partition style) |
| Microsoft Disk Operating System | MS-DOS-käyttöjärjestelmä (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) |
| New Virtual Hard Disk Wizard | Ohjattu näennäiskiintolevyn luominen (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) |
| pass-through disk | läpivientilevy (A physical disk or logical unit number (LUN) that is mapped directly and exclusively to a virtual machine) |
| Primary disk | ensisijainen levy (The hard disk drive that contains the system and boot partitions used to start Windows) |
| quorum disk | koontilevy (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 | 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) |
| unallocated disk space | varaamaton levytila (Any unpartitioned and unformatted space on a hard disk) |
| virtual disk | virtuaalilevy (A collection of one or more physical disks from a previously created storage pool) |
| Windows Disk Diagnostic | Windowsin levydiagnostiikka (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) |
