Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The slack created on a hard drive due to remnants of previously deleted files or data is called drive file slack. This occurs because the size of the file being saved is often smaller than the size of the cluster it is being saved to, leaving unused space in the cluster which can be filled with remnants of previously deleted files or data. RAM slack refers to the unused space between the end of allocated memory and the end of a RAM module, edge slack refers to the unused space between the end of a file and the end of a cluster, and sector slack refers to the unused space between the end of a file and the end of a sector. None of these accurately describe the type of slack created from information stored on a hard drive.
