If you mean where does information gets stored, this would be your hard disk.
The part which is saving the information is the read and write head of the hard disk.

∙ 6y agoComputers can store information in a number of ways.
The most common is magnetically; whether that be in the way of a hard disk, a floppy, or even tape. Second most common is optically, in the form of a CD, DVD, or Blu-Ray disc.
SSD (Solid State Drives) are becoming more and more common, which offer high-speed storage with no moving parts, allowing for cooler, more rugged, and faster storage.
In older days, paper tape was used, as well as punched cards (Hollerith cards, named after Herman Hollerith)
As far as the future?
There has been discussion about holographic storage, storage using Nanotechnology, and so forth.
Long term storage is usually done in either hard drives or solid drives. In hard drives you change the magnetic charge of a surface of multiple discks in the drive that are stored in byte format. In solid drives an electric charge gets trapped in transistors resulting in same function.

∙ 12y agoinformation is broken down by a computer into something call "binary code" this is simply a switch that switches a part of the computer on or off...binary is the combination of ones and zeros put into a group of 8 digits for instance "ilike pie" looks like this to a computer "01101001001000000110110001101001011010110110010100100000011100000110100101100101" this simply is a switch to the computer....and these ones and zeros are written to your hard drive in this form and when they are read it causes the computer to read the switches...doing that they command...and i did forget to mention that the whole "switch" thing...1 is on and 0 is off so 10010110 would be "on off off on off on on off"
