Data Storage Unit Conversion

easy
Computer Science

How many Terabytes (TB) are in one Petabyte (PB)?

A
512 TB
B
1000 TB
C
2048 TB
D
1024 TB
Explanation and memory cue

One Petabyte (PB) is equal to 1024 Terabytes (TB) because data storage units are based on powers of 2, where 1 PB = 1024 TB.

Primary Vs Secondary Storage

easy
Computer Science

Primary storage is ____ as compared to secondary storage:

A
Fast and inexpensive
B
Slow and inexpensive
C
Fast and expensive
D
Slow and expensive
Explanation and memory cue

Primary storage (such as RAM) is typically faster but more expensive than secondary storage (like hard drives or SSDs). Therefore, it is fast and expensive compared to secondary storage.

Data Storage Unit Conversion

easy
Computer Science

1 Yottabyte (YB) is equal to how many Zettabytes (ZB)?

A
1024 ZB
B
1000 ZB
C
2048 ZB
D
512 ZB
Explanation and memory cue

1 Yottabyte (YB) equals 1024 Zettabytes (ZB) because data storage units increase by powers of 1024 in binary prefixes. Hence, 1 YB = 1024 ZB.

Temporary Storage

easy
Computer Science

Which of the following holds data and processing instructions temporarily until the CPU needs them?

A
ROM
B
Control Unit
C
Main memory
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

Main memory (RAM) temporarily holds data and processing instructions while the CPU needs them, enabling quick access during processing. ROM is permanent storage, and the Control Unit directs operations but does not store data temporarily.

Computer Science

Where is RAM located?

A
Motherboard
B
External drive
C
Expansion board
D
None of these
Explanation and memory cue

RAM (Random Access Memory) is located on the motherboard of a computer, typically in dedicated memory slots. It is not found on external drives or expansion boards.

Data Storage Unit Conversion

easy
Computer Science

1 Zettabyte (ZB) equals how many Exabytes (EB)?

A
1024 EB
B
1000 EB
C
2048 EB
D
512 EB
Explanation and memory cue

1 Zettabyte (ZB) equals 1024 Exabytes (EB) because data storage units are based on powers of 2, where each unit is 1024 times the previous one.

Ram Terminology

easy
Computer Science

265 RAM is also known as ____

A
Read Only Memory
B
Programmable Read Only Memory
C
Read-Write Memory
D
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory
Explanation and memory cue

265 RAM refers to a type of memory that allows both reading and writing operations, which corresponds to Read-Write Memory. This distinguishes it from Read Only Memory (ROM) and its programmable variants.
