    This is composed of main memory (RAM) and disk (pagefiles). The corresponding performance counter is called "Committed Bytes". Limit is the maximum possible value for Total ; it is the sum of the current pagefile size plus the physical memory available for pageable contents (this excludes RAM that is assigned to non-pageable areas).

    A hard disk drive failure occurs when a hard disk drive malfunctions and the stored information cannot be accessed with a properly configured computer. A hard disk failure may occur in the course of normal operation, or due to an external factor such as exposure to fire or water or high magnetic fields , or suffering a sharp impact or ...

    Thus, fragmentation is an important problem in file system research and design. The containment of fragmentation not only depends on the on-disk format of the file system, but also heavily on its implementation. [9] File system fragmentation has less performance impact upon solid-state drives, as there is no mechanical seek time involved. [10]

  5. Memory leak - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memory_leak

    where a program can request memory, such as shared memory, that is not released, even when the program terminates; where memory is very limited, such as in an embedded system or portable device, or where the program requires a very large amount of memory to begin with, leaving little margin for leaks
