2. A RAID configuration that uses striping with distributed parity for improved performance and fault tolerance.
3. A structure used to store and organize files on a storage device such as a HDD.
4. A compression technique that reduces the size of data without losing any information.
5. A hierarchical structure of directories that shows the organization of files on a computer system.
6. The process of reorganizing data on a disk to consolidate fragmented files and improve system performance.
7. Limits set on the amount of storage space a user or group can utilize within a file system.
8. The top-level directory in a file system.
9. A directory that is located within another directory.
10. A unique letter assigned to each partition on a storage device to identify it in the file system.
11. The technique of duplicating data across multiple disks in a RAID array for increased redundancy.
12. The process of making a storage device or network share accessible within a file system.
13. A set of characters added to the end of a file name to indicate the file type or format.
14. A RAID configuration that provides mirroring for data redundancy, sacrificing some storage capacity for fault tolerance.
