Dictionary of Accounting Terms: bernoulli box
bernoulli box
alternative to hard disk storage. It provides reliability, good performance, large capacity, fast data access, safety (absence of head crashes and data damage), and built-in backup capability. The box incorporates the best features of hard disk and floppy disk. It has the convenience of a removable floppy disk and the quickness of a hard disk drive. There is an external drive system containing cartridge drives. It has virtually unlimited storage expansibility in 10-megabyte segments in the form of 81/4 inch removable Bernoulli cartridges. However, Bernoulli is higher priced relative to other large hard disk drives.
