CST334 Module 7

 What to Write in your Journal Entry  Write a 1 - 2 paragraph description of what you learned this seventh week in CST 334 Topic: persistence.

This weeks primary topic covered persistence. The specific pieces of hardware this dealt with was physical storage devices such as hard drive disks. These devices are considered persistent storage devices due to their ability to retain information even if the system is powered off. The primary example used in this module was a mechanical hard drive. These function by using a rotating plater that has magnetic elements on either side which are manipulated or read by an arm.

Past this, this module also covered file system hierarchies and how digital file structures are handled on a physical disk. This included information on files, directories, links, etc.
