Maybe these words will be useful:
  • disklike — Resembling a disk or some aspect of one.
  • disks — disk
  • disk controller — (hardware, storage)   (Or "hard disk controller", HDC) The circuit which allows the CPU to communicate with a hard disk, floppy disk or other kind of disk drive. The most common disk controllers in use are IDE and SCSI controllers. Most home personal computers use IDE controllers. High end PCs, workstations and network file servers mostly have SCSI adaptors.
  • disk duplexing — (hardware, storage)   A variation on disk mirroring where, as well as redundant disk drives, a second disk controller or host adapter is also present.
  • disk farm — (jargon)   (Or "laundromat") A large room or rooms filled with disk drives (especially washing machines).
  • disk mirroring — (hardware, storage)   Use of one or more mirrors of a hard disk.
  • disk striping — data striping
  • diskless workstation — (computer, networking)   A personal computer or workstation which has neither a hard disk nor floppy disk drive and which performs all file access via a local area network connection to a file server. The lowest level bootstrap code is stored in non-volatile storage. This uses a simple protocol such as BOOTP to request and download more sophisticated boot code and eventually, the operating system. The archtypal product was the 3Station developed by Bob Metcalfe at 3Com. Another example was the Sun 3/50. Diskless workstations are ideal when many users are running the same application. They are small, quiet, more reliable than products with disks, and help prevent both the theft of data and the introduction of viruses since the software and data available on them is controlled by the network administrator or system administrator. They do however rely on a server which becomes a disadvantage if it is heavily loaded or down. See also breath-of-life packet.
  • disk brake — A disk brake is a brake in which external friction pads press onto a disk, usually by the action of a caliper.
  • disk capacity — the maximum number of bytes that can be held on a disk
