IT332Unit_7_Assignment.docx IT -332 Unit 7 Assignment Purdue Global University IT 332 Principle of Information Systems Architecture There are different physical storages mediums in the modern world. DVD, Flash Drive, and Hard Disk are few of the storages that are available currently. These storage mediums have different file allocation ways and size limitations, Fragmentation is also another issue with these. There is a discussion that will be addressed for fragmentation and these mediums, down below, how to prevent it and how to repair fragmented space. When there is a single contiguous section of memory that is allocated to a process or file with is needed is called a contiguous memory allocation. A Contiguous allocation is a file allocation type in which the data can be written or placed to a disk which reside in continual blocks on the disk. Both directed and sequential access are supported in medium, there are also quick because amount seeks are small due to contiguous allocation file blocks. Though this way, it hurts from internal and external fragmentation which makes it unproductive in terms of memory use. It is also hard to make the file size big because it is reliant on on available of contiguous memory at any instance. [ CITATION Gee21 \l 1033 ] When there is an available free memory space is spread here and there, and all of the free memory space is not in a single location, this is called a Non-contiguous memory allocation. In this process there needs to be a memory, the memory can . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
