What does the term 'wear leveling' refer to in SSDs?
A. Reducing power consumption
B. Defragmenting the drive
C. Evenly distributing write and erase cycles across memory blocks to extend lifespan
D. Improving read speed
Answer: Option C
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Wear leveling is a technique used in flash memory storage to ensure that all memory blocks experience roughly equal write/erase cycles, preventing premature failure of heavily used blocks.
Explanation:
BIOS firmware, typically stored in ROM, performs hardware initialization (including memory testing) and loads the boot loader to start the operating system.
What type of computer memory is specifically designed to detect and correct single-bit data corruption errors in critical enterprise server environments?
Explanation:
ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory contains extra data bits that allow the memory subsystem to identify and fix single-bit memory errors on the fly, preventing system crashes.
