Difference between main memory and backing storage?
Main memory (RAM) is fast, volatile, and used for temporary storage during program execution, while backing storage (like hard drives or SSDs) is slower, non-volatile, and used for long-term storage of data.
Is HDD a volatile or a non-volatile storage device?
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is Non Volatile storage device (permanent). It is also considered as Secondary storage device. Secondary storage devices are always non volatile. Primary storage devices like Ram are volatile (temporary).
Is HDD a volatile or non volatile storage device?
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is Non Volatile storage device (permanent). It is also considered as Secondary storage device. Secondary storage devices are always non volatile. Primary storage devices like Ram are volatile (temporary).
Is a hdd is volatile or non volatile device?
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is Non Volatile storage device (permanent). It is also considered as Secondary storage device. Secondary storage devices are always non volatile. Primary storage devices like Ram are volatile (temporary).
Is hdd a volatile or a non volatile storage devices?
A hard drive is non-volatile storage, since it retains all of the data written to it even when it is no longer supplied with power. In general, a computer's internal operating memory is volatile, while its data storage is non-volatile.
What is the difference between non-volatile memory and storage is that the memory is__________ and storage is_________.A. temporary, permanentB. permanent, temporaryC. slow, fastD. none of the above?
A
What component of the computer is responsible for temporary storage of information?
RAM (Random Accessed Memory) is "temporary" storage. It is temporary because the type we use in desktops PC's is called, volatile. This means, when power is lost, so is all data stored in memory.
RAM holds data and program for processing data?
RAM is volatile storage that holds the program and data that the CPU would be processing.
Does ram contain instructions for basic computer operations?
No. RAM is a volatile memory storage used for the temporary storage of programs and the data associated with the programs. Computers use RAM to speed up the loading times of programs because retrieving a program from the hard drive is significantly much slower.
Where does a computer store a program and the data that the program is working with while the program is running?
secondary storage
Are hard drives considered volatile storage devices?
No, they are permanent storage devices, only RAM is volatile storage device.
What are the key properties of a semiconductor memory?
-Misnamed as all semiconductor memory is random access -Read/Write -Volatile -Temporary storage -Static or dynamic
