  1. disk cache

    A disk cache is a mechanism used in computer systems for improving the time it takes to read from or write to a hard disk. It is a buffer of volatile memory (RAM) that stores data for the purpose of future use, making data access faster as the process of reading from or writing to a hard disk is relatively slower. The disk cache holds the most recently accessed data and their adjacent or related data from the hard disk, anticipating what data the system might request next.
