disk cache
Množina: disk caches
A portion of a computers random access memory (RAM) set aside for temporarily holding information read from disk. A disk cache does not hold entire files, as does a RAM disk (a portion of memory that acts as if it were a disk drive). Instead, a disk cache is used to hold information that either has recently been requested from disk or has previously been written to disk. If the required information remains in a disk cache, access time is considerably faster than if the program must wait for the disk drive mechanism to fetch the information from disk. See also cache. Compare disk buffer.
A cache that stores copies of frequently used disk sectors in random access memory (RAM) so they can be read without accessing the slower disk.

keš diska
IPA: / keʃ diska /Deo memorije koji se koristi za ubrzavanje pristupa disku. Keš diska sadrži podatke koji se često učitavaju sa diska. Njihovim kopiranjem sa čvrstog diska ili diskete i smeštanjem u keš diska, računar dobija mogućnost da kasnije brži pristupi tim podacima. U nekim računarima ovaj keš je ugrađen. Neki pomoćni programi prave keš diska koristeći za to radnu memoriju računara. U principu, što je keš diska veći, to računar brže radi.
