Is the ability of a device to jump directly to the requested data?
Grabbing data? That would be reading data from a hard drive. However, there is also a hard-drive cache which is much more faster, however the data must already be processed for this to be possible.

Common data types vary depending on the hardware, the application and numerous other factors. Therefore there can be no definitive list of the most common data types. Below are a few that are frequently found in a variety of applications: Text or string data Integer values, frequently 2, 4 or 8 bytes long Floating point numeric data, usually several bytes long Boolean data (i.e. true or false) Byte (a single byte that holds data defined by the application) Word (two bytes holding data defined by the application) There are many more data types not listed.
From which type of store can a computer get its data most quickly?
Technically, the computer gets its data from the RAM faster than any data storage technology available. HOWEVER if you are talking about storage data, than it would have to be the ridiculously expensive FDD or Flash Disk Drive, with data transfers of over 100MB's a second for the more outrageously priced models. These are hampered by the fact that the largest FDD you can get is 128GB at this point in time.

How do you restore a shrunk hard disk drive to its original state in size?
As data is saved to a hard drive, the free space lessens until the there is no more space for further data - the drive is full. I assume this is what is meant by the "shrunk" hard disk drive in the question? Formatting the drive will return the drive to the original size. Note: formatting doesn't actually wipe the drive completely, the data is still on the drive. Only the links to the data is severed, so the computer acts as though the drive is blank and it can write new data to the drive.
What is a micro-instruction?
microinstruction: An instruction that controls data flow and instruction-execution sequencing in a processor at a more fundamental level than machine instructions. Note: A series of microinstructions is necessary to perform an individual machine instruction.a micro instruction specifies one or more micro oprations for the system.
Do a hard drive hold more data than a CD?
Yes, It usually depends on how much the CD storage. Cds hold more data, pictures, music and other stuff. A floppy disk can only hold kbs and mbs of files. That is less than the cds hold, and floppy disks are getting obsolete. CDs, DVDs, and USB flash drives are the latest to save things on.
What is the data hard drive?
