"Colossus". It was designed by Tommy Flowers of the British Post Office and built by the engineering team at Bletchley Park (in England) to help crack the Nazi "Fish ciphers" during World War II. There were 10 of them built before VE day, making it not only the first programmable electronic digital computer built but the first computer built in a quantity larger than one before 1952 (when the UNIVAC I went into production).

all computers store data. if they did not, they would have nothing to compute.
There were "affordable" home computers before 1975 (such as the 1973 Micral N), but I suspect you're talking about the Altair 8800.
The main limitation the first home computers had was the same as the first mainframe computers had: not enough main memory (RAM) and not enough external storage.
Because the first, second, and third generation computers were also digital computers.
