Definition

  1. 1
    Tipo de dispositivo utilizado para almacenar datos en las computadoras. Toma la forma de circuitos integrados que permitan que los datos almacenados sean leídos en cualquier orden -es decir, al azar y sin el movimiento físico del medio de almacenaje o de una cabeza de lectura física. La palabra "al azar" refiere al hecho de que cualquier pedazo de datos se puede volver rápidamente, y en un tiempo constante, sin importar su localización física y si está o no relacionado con el elemento anterior de datos. Esto pone en contraste con los mecanismos del almacenaje tales como cintas, discos magnéticos y discos ópticos, que confían en el movimiento físico del medio de la grabación o de una cabeza de lectura. En estos dispositivos, el movimiento dura lo que la transferencia de datos, y el tiempo de la lectura varía dependiendo de la localización física del siguiente elemento de datos.
