A USB stick is a portable memory device which can be used on computers and laptop, and for different operating systems. A USB is generally very light and small. It could easily be a key chain or kept in a purse/bag. You could use your USB to save copies of your work, photos, media files or programs.

How does microprocessor keep instraction in main memory?

It doesn't. Main memory is usually volatile (that is, it "forgets" when power is removed). Most microprocessor systems keep a "bootloader" which is a special type of program located in memory that is available when power is applied. These days, that is usually Flash memory. So, a typical microprocessor boot sequence is that the microprocessor places a known starting address on the Flash's address lines. The data that is returned is then executed. This data forms a basic program which copies from the Flash memory into main memory. Control then shifts to the main memory when the Flash has been completely read. There may be additional aspects to the booting process, such as the second-stage boot loader which is responsible for loading the operating system, usually from a disk drive rather than Flash.


Distinguish between primary memory and auxiliary memory?

the main memory is the central storage unit of the computer system. it is relatively large and fast memory used 2 store the programs and data during the computer operation.main memory communicates directly with the CPU. main memory includes RAM and ROMs. devices that provide backup storage are known as auxillary memory. auxillary memory are relatively slow in comparision to the main memory. auxillary memory includes flash memory,magntic disks and floppys. main memory is located inside the CPU but auxillary memory is located out the CPU. the main memory is the central storage unit of the computer system. it is relatively large and fast memory used 2 store the programs and data during the computer operation.main memory communicates directly with the CPU. main memory includes RAM and ROMs. devices that provide backup storage are known as auxillary memory. auxillary memory are relatively slow in comparision to the main memory. auxillary memory includes flash memory,magntic disks and floppys. main memory is located inside the CPU but auxillary memory is located out the CPU.

What holds the memory data permanantly?

Non-volatile storage devices, like hard disk drives, USB flash memory, ROM flash memory or the like, etc. They store digital data on them without electrical power.


What is the difference of memory card and memory stick on psp?

"Memory stick" usually refers to a general-purpose memory-containing device that can plug into a computer's USB port. The computer sees the memory as an additional drive. A memory stick is also called a thumb drive or flash drive. The memory stick device is externally a case that can be easily handled and kept in a pocket or on a lanyard or key chain. The memory stick is inserted temporarily into a computer and used to transfer information to or from one computer to another, although there is now other equipment, such as audio equipment, that can read the device. "Memory card" usually refers to a small, thin memory-containing card that is used as the main data storage in devices such as cell phones and digital cameras. The memory card has exposed contacts and thus is usually left completely protected inside the device using it. It may, however, be removed and used to transfer data to computers, printers, or other equipment. In fact, you can obtain a small memory-card carrier, having a USB plug, that holds the memory card. That memory-containing, USB-pluggable device is now, for all purposes, a memory stick.

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.


What is the similarities and differences between main memory and flash memory?

Main memory (commonly called RAM) is high speed, "dynamic" memory, used by the processor to run applications. Dynamic memory does not retain information after the computer is turned off, but it stores applications' program data while the computer is still running.Flash memory tends to be a bit slower than RAM, and can be used in much the same manner as a physical disk drive, not losing its data when it loses its power supply. Flash memory can be used in digital cameras, removable flash drives, and now with the advent of SSD's (Solid State Drive), as a replacement to HDD's (Hard Disk Drive) in computers.


How a memory stick can be safely removed from the computer?

This depends on what you mean by memory stick: Internal Memory: (Random Access Memory, the chips you don't see unless you open up the computer) To remove RAM, the procedure varies by computer. In this case, if you are not comfortable doing so I would contact a technician, as was previously suggested. Now, if you mean a Flash Drive (one you carry with you to hold your files), than that is a different story. To safely remove that: In windows - In the bottom right corner hold your mouse over the small icons until you see one that reads "Safely remove hardware...". Right-click and when the menu opens, left click. This will bring up the main menu to stop and remove hardware. Follow the on-screen instructions. On a Mac - Drag the picture of your flash drive that is on the desktop, to the trash bin. You may then remove the flash drive safely. Cheers
