What are the two primary storage device?
random access memory and read only memory
Does rom a primary storage?
Yes. ROM (Read Only Memory) is a primary memory. BIOS is a Read Only Memory and is directly accessed by the cpu just like RAM (Random Access Memory). So it is a primary storage.
IS the Internal memory only primary memory or both primary or secondary memory?
Intenal memory is only primary memory. The term secondary memory is used for External storage like hard disk etc.
What are types of primary storage?
read only memory(ram)
Is ROM a storage device?
ROM = Read Only Memory This is a permanent storage device, usually a chip or an optical disk. Depending on the device, it is written to once, and then is read-only There are some variations, including PROM (Programmable Read Only Memory) and EPROM (Erasable Programmable read only memory)
Can classify the ROM IN secondary storage device?
Read only memory
Is ROM a primary memory or secondary memory?
Primary
When logical drives are present on a basic storage device how many primary partitions can exist?
Primary partition is only one
What is primary storage devices in computer why it is calling primary storage?
This an electronic memory in a computer that includes R.A.M (random access memory) and R.O.M (read only memory) . R.A.M stores data in transit to be processed- all data and programs are by the cpu from the R.A.M .
What is secondary memory device?
Secondary memory, also called auxiliary memory or mass storage, consists of devices not directly accessible by the CPU. Hard drives, floppy disks, tapes, and optical disks are widely used for secondary storage. The input and output of these devices is much slower than for the semiconductor devices that provide the computer's primary memory. Although access times (i.e., the time to read or write information) are slow as compared to that of primary memory, secondary memory devices have important features that are unmatched by primary memory. First, most secondary storage devices are capable of containing much more information than is feasible for primary memory (hence the use of the term "mass storage" as a synonym for secondary memory). A second, and essential, feature of secondary memory is that it is non-volatile. This means that data is stored with or without electrical power being supplied to the device, as opposed to RAM, which can retain its data only so long as electrical power is present.
Definition of memory and its types?
Memory refers to the physical devices used to store programs (sequences of instructions) or data (e.g. program state information) on a temporary or permanent basis for use in a computer or other digital electronic device. Computer Memory is two types as Primary Memory and Secondary Memory at the base of uses. The term primary memory is used for the information in physical systems which function at high-speed (i.e. RAM), as a distinction from secondary memory, which are physical devices for program and data storage which are slow to access but offer higher memory capacity. When data of Primary Memory stored on secondary memory is called "virtual memory".Primary MemoryThe term "memory" is often (but not always) associated with addressable semiconductor memory, i.e. integrated circuits consisting of silicon-based transistors and used as primary memory. Primary storage (or main memory or internal memory), often referred to simply as memory, is the only one directly accessible to the CPU. The CPU continuously reads instructions stored there and executes them as required. Any data actively operated on is also stored there in uniform manner. RAM used for primary storage is also volatile, i.e. they lose the information when not powered). Cash Memory is also a super fast then RAM and it working for only processor.There are two main types of semiconductor memory: volatile and non-volatile.Examples of non-volatile memory are flash memory (sometimes used as secondary, sometimes primary computer memory) and ROM/PROM/EPROM/EEPROM memory (used for firmware such as boot programs). Examples of volatile memory are primary memory (typically dynamic RAM, DRAM), and fast CPU cache memory (typically static RAM, SRAM, which is fast but energy-consuming and offer lower memory capacity per area unit than DRAM).Secondary MemoryThe term "storage" is often (but not always) used in separate computers of traditional secondary memory such as tape, magnetic disks and optical discs (CD-ROM and DVD-ROM). Secondary storage (also known as external memory or auxiliary storage), differs from primary storage in that it is not directly accessible by the CPU. The computer usually uses its input/output channels to access secondary storage and transfers the desired data using intermediate area in primary storage. Secondary storage does not lose the data when the device is powered down-it is non-volatile. Hard disk, CD and DVD drives are usually used as secondary storage. Some other examples of secondary storage technologies are: flash memory (e.g. USB flash drives or keys), floppy disks, magnetic tape, paper tape, punched cards, standalone RAM disks, and Iomega Zip drives.
What are the disadvantage of primary storage?
Well for mac you can only back up your data when you have a secondary storage hard drive, for windows it gives you more space to download and to use it, basic
