(kilobyte—K), millions of bytes (megabyte—MB), billions of bytes (gigabyte—
GB), and trillions of byte (terabyte—TB). The disk devices used on larger
computers are typically capable of storing a greater amount of data in a smaller
amount of space than those used for microcomputers. Microcomputer storage
technology is rapidly advancing, however, so the difference in storage capacity
may not last.

EXERCISES
1. Match the following words with their synonyms marked in the text with bold
type:
directly, set, evaluated, manner, power-dependent, specify, changed, show,
classified, pattern, lead to, removed, to find, differ.
2. Match each of the following terms to the phrase that is the most closely related.
1. binary code, 2. ASCII, 3. backup file, 4. byte, 5. diskette, 6. write/pritect notch,
7. read/write head, 8. hard disk, 9. EBCDIC, 10. sequential storage and retrieval,
11. removable disk pack, 12. tracks, 13. gigabyte, 14. cartridge-tape drive, 15.
sector, 16. direct acsess.
a. This hardware device is a more efficient alternative to diskettes for backing up
the contents of hard disks.
b. Storage device typically used with mainframe computers
c. Pie-shaped "wedge" used for storage reference purposes
d. Unit of measurement approximately equal to a character
e. A billion bytes
f. Circular bands used for storage purposes
g. When this is covered, data cannot be written onto a diskette
