Crossword: Secondary Storage Devices

Across

1. A cloud infrastructure maintained by a single organization, providing increased security and control over data.

2. A protective cover that holds an optical disk while it is being read or written to. Caddies are often used in professional settings to prevent damage to disks.

3. The rate at which an optical storage device revolves. A faster revolution rate allows for quicker reading and writing of data.

4. Storage device that uses NAND-based flash memory chips to store data, offering faster access and higher durability than traditional hard disk drives.

5. The process of converting plain text into a coded language to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information.

6. The delay that occurs when sending data between two points on a network.

7. The ability of cloud systems to grow or shrink in response to changing demand, much like an elastic band.

8. A type of optical storage device that can be written to once, but data cannot be erased or modified.

9. A type of optical storage device that can be written to and erased multiple times.

10. Component of magnetic storage devices that reads and writes data onto disk by changing magnetic orientation of the disk's surface.

11. Narrow concentric circle on the surface of a disk where data is magnetically stored.

12. Representing data as numerical digits for storage and processing.

13. A high-definition optical storage device that uses a blue laser to read and write data to a disk. It has a much larger storage capacity than DVDs.

14. A device that reads and writes data to optical storage devices such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray disks.

Down

15. A model that describes how cloud infrastructure is deployed, such as public, private, or hybrid.

16. The ability to do work or produce power.

17. Duration for which data has to be preserved and kept accessible.

18. The capacity of an optical storage device to bounce back light. A greater capacity leads to enhanced accuracy in reading data.
