English

Subject field(s)
  • Storage Media (Data Processing)
  • Computer Memories
DEF

A data storage device that uses integrated circuit assemblies as memory to store data persistently.

CONT

The term "SSD" is used for two different kinds of products. The first, SSDs based on fast, volatile memory such as SDRAM [synchronous dynamic random access memory], ... The second type of SSD uses flash memory to store data.

CONT

An SSD does much the same job functionally(e. g., saving your data while the system is off, booting your system, etc.) as an HDD [hard disk drive], but instead of a magnetic coating on top of platters, the data is stored on interconnected flash memory chips that retain the data even when there's no power present.

DEF

Composant de stockage de données qui est constitué de mémoires non volatiles à semiconducteurs, généralement des mémoires flash, et d'une électronique de commande, et qui remplit la même fonction qu'un disque dur.

OBS

Un disque SSD ne comporte aucune composante en mouvement, donc il est plus solide et plus fiable qu'un disque traditionnel.

CONT

El SSD (solid state drive) es un dispositivo de almacenamiento de datos que usa memoria no volátil (NAND) tales como flash, o memoria volátil como la SDRAM, para almacenar datos, en lugar de los platos giratorios encontrados en los discos duros convencionales. Aunque técnicamente no son "discos" a veces se traduce erróneamente en español la 'D' de SSD como 'Disk' cuando en realidad representa la palabra 'Drive', que podría traducirse como unidad o dispositivo.

DEF

A logic bomb to be activated at a predetermined time.

CONT

Killer programs have names that science-fiction romance reporters love. If the program is set to activate after a certain time, it is called a "time bomb" or, if activated by a given event, it is called a "logic bomb".

CONT

A time bomb waits for a specific date, then erases your hard disk. Murderous when combined with a Trojan horse delivery mechanism. You run a useful program, and the time bomb installs itself into the system on the hard disk. It goes off months later(after you have forgotten which program could have served as the horse).

Elimination of the virus from infected PCs. To eliminate the virus from the infected hard disk, each PC [personal computer] should be bootstrapped from a write-protected system floppy disk... and any infected objects... on the hard disk replaced with clean copies. This can be done by the "brute force" method of reformatting the disk and reloading the clean copies of all executables, or, alternatively, selectively replacing infected objects.
