G-Sync is a proprietary adaptive sync technology developed by Nvidia aimed primarily at eliminating screen tearing and the need for software alternatives such as Vsync. [1] G-Sync eliminates screen tearing by allowing a video display's refresh rate to adapt to the frame rate of the outputting device (graphics card/integrated graphics) rather than the outputting device adapting to the display ...
A hard disk head on an access arm resting on a hard disk platter. The access time or response time of a rotating drive is a measure of the time it takes before the drive can actually transfer data. The factors that control this time on a rotating drive are mostly related to the mechanical nature of the rotating disks and moving heads. It is ...
Hard disk and other storage drives are subject to failures (see hard disk drive failure) which can be classified into two basic classes: Predictable failures which result from slow processes such as mechanical wear and gradual degradation of storage surfaces. Monitoring can determine when such failures are becoming more likely.
New RVers often learn the hard way that one air conditioner isn’t enough to keep things cool when temperatures soar. Adding an extra air conditioner is an added expense, but will make a trip ...
A disk compression software utility increases the amount of information that can be stored on a hard disk drive of given size. Unlike a file compression utility, which compresses only specified files—and which requires the user to designate the files to be compressed—an on-the-fly disk compression utility works automatically through resident software without the user needing to be aware of ...
However, findings from a new study should help reassure those who need to take antibiotics. The study, which followed healthy older adults for 5 years, found that antibiotic use was not associated ...
“She’ll always keep a smile on your face and always make you laugh no matter what,” she added. “I was her best friend.” Vigil called 911 at around 11 p.m. Monday.
A 500 GB Western Digital hard disk drive with a 16 MB buffer In computer storage , a disk buffer (often ambiguously called a disk cache or a cache buffer ) is the embedded memory in a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid-state drive (SSD) acting as a buffer between the rest of the computer and the physical hard disk platter or flash memory that is ...
