Data stored in secondary memory, such as hard drives or SSDs, is organized into files and directories. These files can be in various formats, such as text, images, or executable programs, and are typically structured in a hierarchical file system. Each file consists of a sequence of bytes, and the file system manages how these bytes are stored, retrieved, and organized on the physical storage medium. Additionally, metadata associated with each file, such as its name, size, and modification date, helps manage and access the data efficiently.

When we store data in computer where does it store?
Temporarily DATA is stored in Primary Memory (RAM - Volatile in nature). Permanently DATA is written to Secondary Memory Storage Devices (HDDs, Optical Disks - Non Volatile in nature).
What is the function of secondary storage?
Primary memory is the only type of memory directly accessible to the CPU. The CPU continuously reads and executes instructions stored here. Also, any data actively operated on is also stored here.
What are the disadvantage of primary storage?
Well for mac you can only back up your data when you have a secondary storage hard drive, for windows it gives you more space to download and to use it, basic
What type of data is stored in cache memory?
Cache memory normally stored instructions and data that the processor likely to use frequently.
What is the component that program data are stored in during execution?
During execution, program data is primarily stored in the computer's RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM provides temporary storage for data and instructions that the CPU needs while a program is running, allowing for fast access and manipulation. Additionally, data may be stored in cache memory for even quicker access, while persistent data is stored in secondary storage like hard drives or SSDs when the program is not running.
What is the way data is stored in the Windows OS?
Data is stored on the hard disc. The more memory hard disc has the more data can be stored.
What is stored in cache memory?
The data that are frequently used goes in the cache memory...
Is virtual memory kept in secondary storage?
Yes, virtual memory uses a combination of both primary (RAM) and secondary (disk storage) memory. When the RAM is full, data is temporarily transferred to the hard drive to free up space for new operations, which is why virtual memory is sometimes referred to as "paging file" or "swap file."
Before a computer can process data where must data be stored?
I'm guessing RAM Random access memory
Distinguish between in primary and secondary memory?
Memory can be categorized in different ways by technology or properties: primary access by the CPU or secondary (indirect) access by the CPU. This distinction is primarily based on the speed of access to the memory. volatile or non-volatile is a distinction based on technology (magnetic vs. electrical, etc.). Volatile memory requires power to maintain its stored information. Read-only memory, or read-write is a distinction based on properties of the memory. Read only memory, or "ROM", is not modifiable.
How's data stored in memory?
