Data held on the hard drive, is considered to be permanent. It will still be there, after the power has been removed for many years.
Random Access Memory (RAM) is the working memory, held on microchips and needs power to keep the data. It will be immediately lost when the computer is switched off. This usually of little consequence as important data is always held on the hard drive.
The RAM is only used for temporary data whilst working.
What else can I help you with?
Do computers store data digitally and ultimately as a stream of only two numbers?
Most digital computers today do.
Is a basic operation of computers.?
Data and instructions in computers are coded with a what because computers only understand two values
Does Logitech make computers?
No, they only make peripherals for computers not computers themselves.
The IT manager of a bank is disposing of some computers but the hard drives have some highly confidential data on them What is the recommended way of dealing with the drive to ensure that the data?
The only safe way to deal with old drives is to smash them with a hammer. No electronic means is totsally safe.
Which IPsec component provides connectionless integrity and data authentication but does not provide confidentiality?
Answer: The Authenticated Header (AH) In the IPSec protocol the only traffic that is unencrypted is the (AH). In other words, it only signs the traffic to retain its authentication & integrity, but no privacy.
Does RAM only holds data temporarily?
Yes
Would changing the battery in a tablet erase data?
No, tablet computers store their data in Flash memory a type of electrically writable read only memory (a solid state replacement for harddisks with no moving parts to break). Flash requires no power to retain data, once that data has been written.
Do computers understand the data they process?
yes, computers do understand the data they process, they are able to do this because of the processor all computers have in their circuit.
When a computer is off what is in RAM?
Nothing. RAM only stores temporarily data which means when your computer shuts down or resets, all data in RAM is lost.
What temporaely hold information?
Temporary holds on information refer to mechanisms or processes that retain data for a limited period before it is either discarded or permanently stored. Examples include cache memory in computing, which temporarily stores frequently accessed data for quick retrieval, or session storage in web applications, which keeps user data only for the duration of a session. These holds are essential for improving performance and managing resource efficiency.
Do computers store data digitally and ultimately as a stream of only two numbers?
Most digital computers today do.
What part of a computer stores data programs settings and the operating system while the computer is off?
The part of a computer that stores data, programs, settings, and the operating system while the computer is off is the hard drive or solid-state drive (SSD). These storage devices retain information even when the power is turned off, allowing for data retrieval when the computer is powered back on. In contrast, RAM (random access memory) only holds data temporarily while the computer is on.
What is a data source that can be used by multiple computers?
wire are the source! jezze, I'm only a second grader!
A memory chip that can retain data without electrical power. it is widely used for bios chips and for data and other digital storage?
The memory chip you're referring to is likely a Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) chip, such as EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory) or Flash memory. These chips retain stored data even when power is removed, making them ideal for applications like BIOS chips in computers and various forms of digital storage. Their ability to preserve information without a power source is crucial for maintaining system settings and data integrity.
Why computer use number system?
Computers cannot understand languages. They can only compute data. Because of that, we use binary code because that is pure data.
Tablet computers are another type of notebook where the keyboard is the only data entry method available?
// This is a statement and not a question! //
Is CPU retain the information when power to the computer system is turned off?
No. The microprocessor is simply a bunch of tiny switches that when switched a certain way process data according to a program. When you turn the power off all the switches are reset. To get the microprocessor to set the switches again it needs to get instructions from somewhere else, usually the BIOS, this is what it is doing when it boots. Only the BIOS and the hard drive retain data when there is no power.
