A group of federal trial rules that pertain to the introduction of evidence. They are necessary so that people trying cases introduce valid evidence and for the court to determine with some basis for the decision what evidence gets into the record. The record is the only basis for a court's decision. Even though fair has no place in our justice system the FRE's at least provide the same playing field for both sides. Just knowing the rule is not enough. In our system courts have determined the meaning of many of the 68 rules so you have to know the cases behind the application of the rule.

Is a federal judge required to hear evidence required by the state of hearing but not required to be considered on the federal level?

It is not clear exactly what is being asked here, but as a general rule, Federal Courts operate under the Federal Rules of Evidence, so it does not matter whether evidence would be admissible under state law.

How do the Federal Rules of Evidence address the originality of computer data in relation to the best evidence rule?

The Federal Rules of Evidence exist so that juries are presented with fair sets of evidence by which to evaluate cases and hand down the fairest decisions.

Original data is always required, when possible to obtain and applicable to the case.
