2. System partition and boot partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_partition_and_boot...

   The boot partition is a primary partition that contains the boot loader, a piece of software responsible for booting the operating system. For example, in the standard Linux directory layout ( Filesystem Hierarchy Standard ), boot files (such as the kernel , initrd , and boot loader GRUB ) are mounted at /boot/ . [ 1 ]

3. Solid-state drive - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_drive

   Consumer SSDs offer transfer rates between 200 MB/s and 3500 MB/s, depending on the model. [30] HDDs transfer data at approximately 200 MB/s, depending on the rotational speed and location of data on the disk. Outer tracks allow faster transfer rates. [31] Random-access performance SSD random access times are typically below 0.1 ms. [32]

4. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

   A solid-state drive (SSD) provides secondary storage for relatively complex systems including personal computers, embedded systems, portable devices, large servers and network-attached storage (NAS). To satisfy such a wide range of uses, SSDs are produced with various features, capacities, interfaces and physical sizes and layouts. [4]

5. Boot image - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boot_image

   Some virtual machine infrastructure can directly import and export a boot image for direct installation to "bare metal", i.e. a disk. This is the standard technique for OEMs to install identical copies of an operating system on many identical machines: The boot image is created as a virtual machine and then exported, or created on one disk and then copied via a boot image control ...

6. USB Attached SCSI - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_Attached_SCSI

   When used with an SSD, UAS is considerably faster than BOT for random reads and writes given the same USB transfer rate. The speed of a native SATA 3 interface is 6.0 Gbit/s. When using a USB 3.0 link (5.0 Gbit/s), which is slower than a SATA3 link, the performance will be limited by the USB link.

7. BIOS boot partition - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS_Boot_partition

   The BIOS boot partition is a partition on a data storage device that GNU GRUB uses on legacy BIOS-based personal computers in order to boot an operating system, when the actual boot device contains a GUID Partition Table (GPT). Such a layout is sometimes referred to as BIOS/GPT boot.

8. SATA Express - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SATA_Express

   The connector on the host side accepts either one PCI Express SSD or up to two legacy SATA devices, by providing either PCI Express lanes or SATA 3.0 ports depending on the type of connected storage device. [13] There are five types of SATA Express connectors, differing by their position and purpose: [2]

9. Hibernation (computing) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hibernation_(computing)

   Hibernation (also known as suspend to disk, or Safe Sleep on Macintosh computers [1]) in computing is powering down a computer while retaining its state.When hibernation begins, the computer saves the contents of its random access memory (RAM) to a hard disk or other non-volatile storage.
