Sumario:	The article discusses a concept in computer science called the "five-minute" rule, which was developed by computer scientists Jim Gray and Gianfranco Putzolu in 1987. The rule addresses the trade-off between computer memory and input/output (I/O) capacity, comparing the cost of holding a record, or a page, permanently in memory with the cost of performing disk I/O each time the record is accessed. Other topics include the price of RAM (Random-Access Memory) used to hold a 1 KB record and the use of flash memory.
