2. ReadyBoost - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ReadyBoost

   The core idea of ReadyBoost is that a flash memory (e.g. a USB flash drive or an SSD) has a much faster seek time than a typical magnetic hard disk (less than 1 ms), allowing it to satisfy requests faster than reading files from the hard disk. It also leverages the inherent advantage of two parallel sources from which to read data, whereas ...

3. Hard disk drive performance characteristics - Wikipedia

   The spindle motor speed can use one of two types of disk rotation methods: 1) constant linear velocity (CLV), used mainly in optical storage, varies the rotational speed of the optical disc depending upon the position of the head, and 2) constant angular velocity (CAV), used in HDDs, standard FDDs, a few optical disc systems, and vinyl audio ...

4. Microsoft Drive Optimizer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Drive_Optimizer

   Microsoft Drive Optimizer (formerly Disk Defragmenter) is a utility in Microsoft Windows designed to increase data access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique called defragmentation.

6. Cache prefetching - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cache_prefetching

   Cache prefetching can be accomplished either by hardware or by software. [3]Hardware based prefetching is typically accomplished by having a dedicated hardware mechanism in the processor that watches the stream of instructions or data being requested by the executing program, recognizes the next few elements that the program might need based on this stream and prefetches into the processor's ...

7. Zone bit recording - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zone_bit_recording

   This permits the drive to have more bits stored in the outside tracks compared to the inner ones. Storing more bits per track equates to achieving a higher total data capacity on the same disk area. [2] However, ZBR influences other performance characteristics of the hard disk. In the outermost tracks, data will have the highest data transfer ...
