  • Computer storage devices come in two primary types: primary storage and secondary storage
  • What happens to data stored in primary storage when power is turned off?
    It is lost
  • Secondary storage retains data even without power.

    True
  • What is an example of secondary storage?
    SSD
  • Secondary storage has a slower access time compared to RAM
  • Match the storage type with its example:
    Primary Storage ↔️ Cache
    Secondary Storage ↔️ USB flash drive
  • Secondary storage is non-volatile.

    True
  • Match the storage type with its characteristic:
    Volatility of RAM ↔️ Volatile
    Access Time of SSD ↔️ Fast
    Cost per GB of HDD ↔️ Low
  • Which storage device is most durable?
    SSD
  • Cloud storage uses remote servers
  • A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) has a slow access time, low cost, and high capacity
  • Cloud storage relies on internet speed for access.

    True
  • Primary storage, also known as RAM, is volatile and loses data when power is off.
  • What is the volatility of primary storage?
    Volatile
  • Primary storage is volatile and loses data when power is turned off
  • Secondary storage has a slower access time compared to RAM.

    True
  • What is the cost per GB for secondary storage compared to primary storage?
    Low
  • Which storage device uses flash memory for faster read and write speeds?
    Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • What type of storage relies on remote servers and requires an internet connection?
    Cloud Storage
  • Solid State Drives (SSDs) are more expensive per GB
  • HDDs have slower access times but larger capacities than SSDs.

    True
  • What does it mean for primary storage to be volatile?
    Data is lost when power is off
  • Match the storage feature with the correct type of storage:
    Volatility ↔️ Volatile
    Purpose ↔️ Short-term storage
  • What are computer storage devices used for?
    Storing data and instructions
  • Primary storage (RAM) is volatile.

    True
  • Secondary storage is non-volatile
  • The cost per GB of primary storage is high
  • Primary storage is used for long-term storage of applications and documents.
    False
  • Which type of storage has a higher cost per GB?
    Primary storage
  • Primary storage (RAM) allows for fast access and manipulation of data
  • What is the purpose of secondary storage in a computer system?
    Long-term data storage
  • Order the storage devices by access time from fastest to slowest:
    1️⃣ SSD
    2️⃣ USB Flash Drive
    3️⃣ HDD
    4️⃣ Cloud Storage
  • Cloud storage requires an internet connection to access data.
    True
  • What are the two primary types of computer storage devices?
    RAM and secondary storage
  • What type of storage device is known for its fast access time and high durability?
    Solid State Drive (SSD)
  • What are the two primary types of computer storage devices?
    Primary and secondary storage
  • Secondary storage retains data even when the power is off.

    True
  • Match the storage type with its example:
    Primary storage ↔️ RAM
    Secondary storage ↔️ HDD
  • What is the purpose of primary storage?
    Short-term storage
  • Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are mechanical drives with large storage capacities and lower costs
