Storage Devices
It is the level of secondary storage that retains data when power is turned off. For example: Memory is volatile if it loses its data when the power is removed.
true
PROM is "Programmable Read Only Memory" RAM is "Random Access Memory" Prom is used to retain data even when the computer is turned off. RAM is used by the computer to run applications when the computer is running. RAM is high speed memory that can be read/written while the computer is running. Applications and data are loaded into RAM every time your computer is turned on. PROM, ROM, EPROM are all versions of memory that typically contain the same data every time the computer is turned on.
To connect secondary storage devices and to save the data permanently even while computer is turned off.
A computer is loading data when it is turned on and the operating system is being loaded.
Yes
Not unless you power it permanently. RAM can only store data as long the power is turned on.
Volatile primary memory refers to computer memory that requires power to maintain stored information. When the power is turned off, any data held in this type of memory is lost. Common examples include Random Access Memory (RAM), which is used for temporary data storage while a computer is running. Its volatility contrasts with non-volatile memory, like hard drives or SSDs, which retain data even without power.
The computer memory used for storing programs and data currently being processed by the CPU is called Random Access Memory (RAM). RAM provides fast access for the CPU to read and write data, allowing for quick execution of tasks and applications. It is volatile memory, meaning it loses its contents when the power is turned off.
No,it does not because it is volatile memory.
of course not!
In computer or data-storage context, it is the prefix mega.
