2. Disk storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_storage

   The sector unit is the smallest size of data to be stored in a hard disk drive, and each file will have many sector units assigned to it. The smallest entity in a CD is called a frame, which consists of 33 bytes and contains six complete 16-bit stereo samples (two bytes × two channels × six samples = 24 bytes).

3. Computer data storage - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage

   Computer data storage or digital data storage is a technology consisting of computer components and recording media that are used to retain digital data. It is a core function and fundamental component of computers. [1]: 15–16 The central processing unit (CPU) of a computer is what manipulates data by performing computations.

4. In-memory processing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-memory_processing

   In software engineering, in-memory processing is a software architecture where a database is kept entirely in random-access memory (RAM) or flash memory so that usual accesses, in particular read or query operations, do not require access to disk storage. [2]

5. Disk sector - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_sector

   In computer file systems, a cluster (sometimes also called allocation unit or block) is a unit of disk space allocation for files and directories.To reduce the overhead of managing on-disk data structures, the filesystem does not allocate individual disk sectors by default, but contiguous groups of sectors, called clusters.

6. Input–output memory management unit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Input–output_memory...

   In computing, an input–output memory management unit (IOMMU) is a memory management unit (MMU) connecting a direct-memory-access–capable (DMA-capable) I/O bus to the main memory. Like a traditional MMU, which translates CPU -visible virtual addresses to physical addresses , the IOMMU maps device-visible virtual addresses (also called device ...

7. In-memory database - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-memory_database

   An in-memory database (IMDb, or main memory database system (MMDB) or memory resident database) is a database management system that primarily relies on main memory for computer data storage. It is contrasted with database management systems that employ a disk storage mechanism.
