What else can I help you with?
One computer has either volatile or nonvolatile storage but never both?
Modern Computers have both volatile memory - RAM and non-volatile memory - Hard Disk
Is a hard drive considered to be a volatile device?
No, hard drive is a non-volatile device. Volatile memory devices store data temporarily and lose data on power cut. However hard disk retain its data and hence is non-volatile memory.
Difference between voltaile and non-voltaile memory?
Volatile Memory requires power to maintain the stored memory. Eg. Random Access Memory (RAM) Non-Volatile Memory does not require poer to maintain the stored memory. Eg. Hard Disk, Compact Disk, Flash memory.
Is a hard disk drive volital?
I believe that you mean to ask if hard disk drives are considered volatile storage media or not. Volatile memory is memory that is lost when the storage medium is not being supplied with electricity. Hard drives do not need power for storage, only for reading and writing data from and to the platters; this means that hard drives are not volatile storage media.
Computer memory that is volatile?
If you want an example, all 'RAM' (Random Access Memory) is volatile - once power is removed the data is lost. Compare this to a CD or your hard disk drive.
What is the purpose of harddisk?
The hard-drive (hard-disk) is used to store data in a non-volatile form. Working in RAM (memory) is classed as "volatile" in that the data disappears as soon as the computer is switched off.
When a value is read from a memory in c language and preserved this process is called?
Saving. Values can be saved by writing them to non-volatile memory such as a hard-disk file.
What is the function of hard disk?
A hard disk is a device that is used to store large amounts of data in a computer system. Hard disks differ from other memory because they are non-volatile, they retain the data even when they do not have power.
Is hard disk a non volatile?
Yes, a hard disk is a non volatile storage medium. Non-volatile means that data is still there after you turn the computer off and back on.
What do you mean voltile memory?
Volatile memory refers to memory that loses its state upon losing power. Computer RAM is volatile. Compare to nonvolatile memory (Hard disk drives, USB NAND flash storage devices, CD and DVD optical media, floppy media)
What are hard disk drive?
Hard disk drive is a storage device.its is a non-volatile storage device
What computer compacity do I need for 500 MB of hard disk space would a 8 Gb 750 ram be big enough?
I'm not sure what you mean. If you mean 8 gigabyte Hard disk, yes, that's sufficient. If you mean 8.75 RAM, maybe. RAM and Hard disk are different things. RAM is memory that is volatile - it's deleted when you switch your computer off. The hard disk is non-volatile: It stays there forever, until you delete it.
