  2. Bandwidth throttling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bandwidth_throttling

    Limiting the speed of data sent by a data originator (a client computer or a server computer) is much more efficient than limiting the speed in an intermediate network device between client and server because while in the first case usually no network packets are lost, in the second case network packets can be lost / discarded whenever ingoing data speed overcomes the bandwidth limit or the ...

  3. Disk quota - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_quota

    A disk quota is a limit set by a system administrator that restricts certain aspects of file system usage on modern operating systems. The function of using disk quotas is to allocate limited disk space in a reasonable way.

  4. SteamOS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SteamOS

    [42] [43] Version 3.0 added full support for peripheral devices, allowing SteamOS devices such as the Deck to be used as conventional PCs. Version 3.0 is based on Arch Linux, rather than Debian, with some customizations. The OS includes Gamescope, which is a gaming-oriented microcompositor designed to optimize display on the Steam Deck.

  5. CrystalDiskMark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CrystalDiskMark

    CrystalDiskMark is an open source disk drive benchmark tool for Microsoft Windows from Crystal Dew World. Based on Microsoft's MIT-licensed Diskspd tool, [2] this graphical benchmark is commonly used for testing the performance of solid-state storage. [3] [4] It works by reading and writing through the filesystem in a volume-dependent way.

    -c, display a grand total of the disk usage found by the other arguments-d #, the depth at which summing should occur. -d 0 sums at the current level, -d 1 sums at the subdirectory, -d 2 at sub-subdirectories, etc.-H, calculate disk usage for link references specified on the command line-k, show sizes as multiples of 1024 bytes, not 512-byte

  7. File system fragmentation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File_system_fragmentation

    [b] The file system could defragment the disk immediately after a deletion, but doing so would incur a severe performance penalty at unpredictable times. Now, a new file called F, which requires seven blocks of space, can be placed into the first seven blocks of the newly freed space formerly holding the file B, and the three blocks following ...

  8. Hot spare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hot_spare

    The hot spare disk reduces the mean time to recovery (MTTR) for the RAID redundancy group, thus reducing the probability of a second disk failure and the resultant data loss that would occur in any singly redundant RAID (e.g., RAID-1, RAID-5, RAID-10). Typically, a hot spare is available to replace a number of different disks and systems ...

  9. Interleaving (disk storage) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interleaving_(disk_storage)

    In block storage devices such as hard disk drives, interleaving is a technique used to improve slow system performance by putting data accessed sequentially into non-sequential blocks, typically sectors. The number of physical sectors between consecutive logical sectors is called the interleave skip factor or skip factor. [1] [2] [3]
