________ improves hard-disk performance by anticipating data needs and reducing time to access data from secondary storage.
A)File decompression
B)Disk caching
C)Formatting
D)RAID

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Disk caching improves hard-disk performance by temporarily storing frequently accessed data in a cache on a faster storage device, such as RAM or solid-state drive, reducing the time needed to access data from the slower secondary storage. File decompression is a process of unpacking compressed files, and it does not directly improve hard-disk performance. Formatting prepares a storage device for use by creating a file system, and RAID is a technology that combines multiple hard drives for higher performance, reliability, or both.
