Why does the hard drive slow down when writing or reading in the paging file?
because the ram has run out.
because it is subjected to light mechanical stresses
because the ram is running out
because it no longer uses the speed of the ram, but that of the hard drive, which is slower
because it takes up space
why does the fragmentation of large files occur into smaller files, arranged on different tracks? the read head then slows down when reading these scattered fragments in memory.
why is the speed of the disk used and not that of the ram?
because it behaves like a ram but is used only when the latter is full and there is too much information. as a result, the computer slows down
saturated with information
because the information is temporarily saved on the hard drive and therefore takes up space on the hard disk.
because it means that it is fully utilizing the ram but to avoid a crash it relies on the cache
