The data transfer speed of a device is not fully dependant on its size. With certain file systems, larger drives will perform slower because of the way the files are stored; this is why NTFS is used rather than FAT32 for large hard drives. However; the size of the drive is not the biggest factor in speed. For example, a 7200 RPM drive is usually faster than a 5400 RPM drive, even if the 7200 RPM drive is much larger in storage size.

sure :D


Do the faster the particles of a substance are moving the more energy they have?

Yes, generally the faster molecules are moving, the greater their energy. This manifests as higher temperature, and (for gases) higher pressure.

How do you get a higher gas capacity on street racing?

Use larger fuel cells and upgrade overall suspension. The faster one goes, faster is fuel depleted.


Why sand gets hotter faster than water?

because water has a higher heat capacity than sand


Which is true for a counterbalance lift truck the higher the lift height?

Height does not affect capacity.


Why does land become hot faster than a body of water?

Water heats slower because it has a higher specific heat capacity.


What is the effect of reactant concentration?

Generally, the higher the concentrations the faster the reaction. It does not push the reaction further past the equilibrium.


Which heats faster?

The air heats faster than the water because water has a higher heat capacity. As a result water takes four times more heat energy as compared to air.


When the computer is better than human?

The computer is better than human beings in data processing because computers are faster, more accurate and have way higher storage capacity than the human brain. Also, computers don't grow tired or bored even if made to perform repetitive tasks.
