store in large memory banks Explanation: Depending of your context you might want to take this into account: Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, refers to computer components and recording media that retain digital data. Data storage is one of the core functions and fundamental components of computers. In contemporary usage, memory usually refers to semiconductor storage random-access memory, typically DRAM (Dynamic-RAM). Memory can refer to other forms of fast but temporary storage. Storage refers to storage devices and their media not directly accessible by the CPU, (secondary or tertiary storage) — typically hard disk drives, optical disc drives, and other devices slower than RAM but more permanent.[1] Historically, memory has been called main memory, real storage or internal memory while storage devices have been referred to as secondary storage, external memory or auxiliary/peripheral storage. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_data_storage -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 hrs (2011-09-18 14:58:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- could consider "large main memories" Panel: The effect of large main memory on database systems http://dl.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=16887 Merging Sorted Runs Using Large Main Memory http://www.arnetminer.org/viewpub.do?pid=741469 Example sentence(s):
