Is a flash drive read only or read write?
You can write to a flash drive and read data from the flash drive. It acts the same as a miniature hard drive, just like the one on your computer. It uses flash memory, hence the name flash drive.
What are the similarities of a usb flash drive and a floppy disk?
There are practically no dissimilarities between flash memory and floppy disk. Both media store the data in bits, however the method in which this is done is completely different. Floppy disks store data on a moving plater using magnetism, the data must be physically accessed by the read head. Flash memory stores the data as charge and can be accessed by directly addressing the memory. Flash memory has no moving parts, it is durable and data corruption due to external factors is practically non existent.
Would changing the battery in a tablet erase data?
No, tablet computers store their data in Flash memory a type of electrically writable read only memory (a solid state replacement for harddisks with no moving parts to break). Flash requires no power to retain data, once that data has been written.
What are examples of programmable Read Only memory?
flash memory
What is a type of electrically erasable programmable read only memory?
EEPROMs are main memory units in which data can be written and erased any number of times. Here an electric volatage is used to erase the data insted of UV exposure.
Which type of memory is used in pen drive?
IN USB pen/USB drive their is EEROM, which means Electronicaly Eraisable Read Only Memory. EEROM is a kind of Read only memory in which you can write, read or store and delete your data.
Can flash memory be recovered?
No. Unlike hard drives, flash memory doesn't write data, it virtually stores it
Why flash memory is non volatile in nature?
Flash memory is what is called RAM/ROM it is both RAM ( Random Access Memory ) and ROM ( Read Only Memory ). Flash memory can be used to store data, but has a limited number of writes before the memory "forgets that it exists." ROM is the same thing as a hard disk's memory. It's in a solid state when the power is off. ( Stored as a magnetic charge. )
What kind of data storage do Flash memory cards use?
AnswerFlash Memmory is a special type of EEPROM (Eletrically Eraseable Programmable Read Only Memory)The difference between flash memory and EEPROM is that flash memory is block eraseable and EEPROM is byte-erasable.
Why do you call usb a flash drive?
USB is not a flash drive. A flash drive is so called because it uses flash memory that retains data with no power.
Is it possible to retrieve data loss from flash memory using a USB extension cable?
No, it is not possible to retrieve data loss from the flash memory using the USB extension cable.
Which technique is used to store large amount of data on pen drive?
EEPROM (Electronic Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) is used to store large amounts of data on pen/flash drives. EEPROM is a form of static, nonvolatile read only memory which uses electrical signals to program and erase data.
