The Hard Disk installed in your computer is static and non volitile
Hard diskdisk
This kind of a hard disk device is the most commontly use in office.
a hard drive is hardware (stuff built into a computer). the hard drive is a disk that stores a massive amout of computer memory. my computer hold 140 gigs of memory. so in other words a hard drive is just one amazing disk.
there are 2 type of hard disk 1)internal hard disk 2)external hard disk there are 5 kind of hard disk in each hard disk 1)ATA 2)firewire 3)SCSI 4)RAID 5)fibre channel
It is a Hard Drive.
Antivirus programs, ex. Norton, Symantec, BitDefender, Avast.
Disk cloning is the copying of the contents of one hard disk to another hard disk. In the alternative, a cloning copy can also be saved as an "image" file; a compressed file containing a "snap shot" of the hard drive's contents.
No. RAM is "volatile" memory which means when you turn off the computer it loses the information. a Hard Drive is the device that stores your documents and files and retains this information even when the power is turned off. RAM is much faster than a hard drive and it used by the computer as temporary memory that it works to/from.
If you want the computer to forget what is read and written then Random Access memeory is the best. If you want the computer to remember what is read and written then Saving the writing to the Hard Disk means the writting can then be read at a latter time
primary and secondary storage may also refer specifically to the components inside the computer. In this case, primary storage typically refers to random access memory (RAM), while secondary storage refers to the computer's internal hard drive.
There are two types of memories: Primary and Secondary.The primary memory or the main memory is part of the main computer system. The processor or the CPU directly stores and retrieves information from it. This memory is accessed by CPU, in random fashion. That means any location of this memory can be accessed by the CPU to either read information from it, or to store information in it.o The primary memory itself is implemented by two types of memory technologies. The first is called Random Access Memory (RAM) and the other is read only memory (ROM). A more appropriate name for RAM is RWM (Read Write Memory), the CPU can write and read information from any primary memory location implemented using RAM. The other part of primary memory is implemented using ROM which stands for Read Only Memory.Primary memory is much faster and also it is more cost effective. But the secondary memory is much slower and also less costly. It stores the data permanently unless it is erased. The secondary memory is usually available in the form of floppy disk storage media, hard disk, CD, DVD, Pen drive (i.e. Mass storage devices), memory chips. A 5 and1/4 inch floppy disk typically stores 1.44 mb of data. The data on the floppy disk is organized in terms of tracks and sectors. Hard disk can have large capacity something like 80-300 GB's or higher. Hard disk itself is made up of, large number of platters. Hard disk is usually much faster compared to floppy disk. CD can store up to 750 mb of data. Information on CD ROM is organized in terms of a spiral track. A DVD is digital Versatile Disk and can store 4.6 Gigabyte of information. All these CD disk are usually write ones and read many times (if the disk is not multisession and re writable). So are the DVDs.so as a conclusion, pen drive is a secondary type of memory, since it is a peripheral device and needs to be connected to the computer to retrieve the datas.
