"EAM slack" značenje u engleski leksikon

Množina: EAM slacks

Unused space on hard disks that can contain data copied from random access memory (RAM), meaning physical memory.
On most computing platforms, files are written to disk using a whole number of clusters regardless of whether the entire last cluster is required or not. The last sector of the last cluster used for writing a file is generally padded with data copied from memory and is called RAM slack. Forensic examination of hard drives can display the contents of this RAM slack, which may contain user names, passwords, or other sensitive information copied from memory. Disk-cleaning programs can eliminate RAM slack from hard drives and ensure the protection of sensitive information when computer systems are lost or discarded.
