  2. XCOPY - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/XCOPY

    Since Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10, a compression option is available in xcopy when copying across a network. With this switch, if the destination computer supports SMB compression and the files being copied are very compressible, there may be significant improvements to performance.

  3. System partition and boot partition - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_partition_and_boot...

    The system partition and the boot partition (also known as the system volume and the boot volume) are computing terms for disk partitions of a hard disk drive or solid-state drive that must exist and be properly configured for a computer to operate. There are two different definitions for these terms: the common definition and the Microsoft ...

  4. Disk partitioning - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_partitioning

    All Windows operating systems from Windows 95 onwards can be located on (almost) any partition, but the boot files (io.sys, bootmgr, ntldr, etc.) must reside on a primary partition. However, other factors, such as a PC's BIOS (see Boot sequence on standard PC ) may also impose specific requirements as to which partition must contain the primary OS.

  5. Standard RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_RAID_levels

    Diagram of a RAID 1 setup. RAID 1 consists of an exact copy (or mirror) of a set of data on two or more disks; a classic RAID 1 mirrored pair contains two disks.This configuration offers no parity, striping, or spanning of disk space across multiple disks, since the data is mirrored on all disks belonging to the array, and the array can only be as big as the smallest member disk.

  6. Nested RAID levels - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nested_RAID_levels

    RAID 01, also called RAID 0+1, is a RAID level using a mirror of stripes, achieving both replication and sharing of data between disks. [3] The usable capacity of a RAID 01 array is the same as in a RAID 1 array made of the same drives, in which one half of the drives is used to mirror the other half.

  7. Disk mirroring - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_mirroring

    RAID 1 layout. In data storage, disk mirroring is the replication of logical disk volumes onto separate physical hard disks in real time to ensure continuous availability.It is most commonly used in RAID 1.

    A hard disk head and arm on a platter Microphotograph of a hard disk head. The size of the front edge is about 0.3 * 1.2 mm. The functional part of the head is the round, orange structure in the middle.

  9. Disk compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disk_compression

    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 ...
