The BIOS saves data on a CMOS chip that is still volatile like other memory, but it is typically powered by a CR2032 button battery. If this battery fully discharges or is removed, the data stored in CMOS is lost and the BIOS settings will automatically be reset to default.

Does the motherboard store data?
it has chips to store a little data such as BIOS and such, but info useful to an average computer user? no...
What chip contains the system bios and holds data permanently without electicity?
ROM is incorrect, its Flash Rom
What drives can be used to permanently store user data?
SanDisk flas driver
Main memory is used to store data permanently.?
No. It is usually used to help run the programs your are running at that moment and store other associated data.
Is it true that the main memory is used to store data permanently?
No. It is usually used to help run the programs your are running at that moment and store other associated data.
Is BIOS a volatile or nonvolatile memory?
BIOS is a program (stored in ROM), not a memory.However the BIOS uses a battery backed up RAM to store a variety of settings and parameters. This BIOS RAM is itself volatile (it can only store data when powered), however the battery backup provides power to this RAM when the main power of the computer is off (making it act as if it were nonvolatile). When this battery dies the BIOS RAM will lose its data and (after the battery is replaced) the machine may have to be reconfigured from scratch before the machine will startup correctly.
Where is the saved BIOS configuration data stored?
All the settings from the BIOS are stored in a chip which is located on the motherboard. That chip is called EEPROM (electrically erasable PROM).BIOS configuration setting is store in special memory called CMOS. Which is little powered by a battery. RAM is volatile so when computer turned off, all data lost.This can also happen with CMOS but due to this purpose it is powered by battery. It consumption of power is very low and it can store data for 1 year.CMOS stand for "Complementary Metal Oxides Semiconductor".

When we store data in computer where does it store?
Temporarily DATA is stored in Primary Memory (RAM - Volatile in nature). Permanently DATA is written to Secondary Memory Storage Devices (HDDs, Optical Disks - Non Volatile in nature).
Is any long-term data stored on ram?
Not unless you power it permanently. RAM can only store data as long the power is turned on.
What type of memory can permanently store data until power is removed from the IC without the need for stored data to be refreshed?
the answer would be the SRAM because it store until information is changed or power removed
What is a storage?
A storage device is any computer hardware meant to store data permanently or semi-permanently. This includes, but is not limited to hard disks, floppy disks, cdroms and DVDs.
