  2. Disk cloning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_cloning

    Disk cloning is the process of duplicating all data on a digital storage drive, such as a hard disk or solid state drive, using hardware or software techniques. [1] Unlike file copying, disk cloning also duplicates the filesystems, partitions, drive meta data and slack space on the drive. [2]

  3. Write amplification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Write_amplification

    Therefore, separating the data will enable static data to stay at rest and if it never gets rewritten it will have the lowest possible write amplification for that data. The drawback to this process is that somehow the SSD controller must still find a way to wear level the static data because those blocks that never change will not get a chance ...

  4. Data migration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_migration

    Migration addresses the possible obsolescence of the data carrier, but does not address that certain technologies that use the data may be abandoned altogether, leaving migration useless. Time-consuming – migration is a continual process, which must be repeated every time a medium reaches obsolescence, for all data objects stored on a certain ...

  5. Hardware-based full disk encryption - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardware-based_full_disk...

    The two main use cases are Data at Rest protection, and Cryptographic Disk Erasure. For Data at Rest protection a computer or laptop is simply powered off. The disk now self-protects all the data on it. The data is safe because all of it, even the OS, is now encrypted, with a secure mode of AES, and locked from reading and writing. The drive ...

  6. Mobile computing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile_computing

    Mobile applications might copy user data from these devices to a remote server without the users’ permission and often without the users’ consent. [4] The user profiles automatically created in the cloud for smartphone users raise privacy concerns on all major platforms, in terms of, including, but not limited to, location tracking [ 5 ...

  7. Data portability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_portability

    Data portability is a concept to protect users from having their data stored in "silos" or "walled gardens" that are incompatible with one another, i.e. closed platforms, thus subjecting them to vendor lock-in and making the creation of data backups or moving accounts between services difficult.

  8. 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

  9. No-cloning theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/No-cloning_theorem

    According to Asher Peres [4] and David Kaiser, [5] the publication of the 1982 proof of the no-cloning theorem by Wootters and Zurek [2] and by Dieks [3] was prompted by a proposal of Nick Herbert [6] for a superluminal communication device using quantum entanglement, and Giancarlo Ghirardi [7] had proven the theorem 18 months prior to the published proof by Wootters and Zurek in his referee ...
