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.

How mar and mdr work?

MAR (Memory Address Register) holds the address of the memory location to be accessed or written to in the memory unit, whereas MDR (Memory Data Register) holds the actual data that is to be written to a memory location or data read from a memory location. MAR is used to specify the address, while MDR is used to temporarily store the data during memory operations.

How do the contents of the MAR and MDR registers changes during the fetch decode execute cycle?

During the fetch-decode-execute cycle, the Memory Address Register (MAR) holds the address of the memory location from which data is to be fetched or to which data is to be written. In the fetch phase, the MAR is loaded with the address of the next instruction to be executed. The Memory Data Register (MDR) then temporarily holds the data fetched from memory or the data to be written to memory. As the cycle progresses, the contents of the MAR and MDR are updated based on the memory operations required for executing the instruction.
