Which of the following is an example of volatile storage?
Answered by GPT-4o mini
The core component of a device that accepts and executes instructions is the **Central Processing Unit (CPU)**. The CPU is often referred to as the brain of the computer, as it processes instructions from programs, performs calculations, and manages the flow of information throughout the system.

The **motherboard** is a circuit board with ports and sockets used to connect the main devices of a computer. It serves as the main printed circuit board (PCB) and provides the electrical connections and pathways for communication between the CPU, memory, storage, and peripheral devices.

In Computer Science, **RAM** stands for **Random Access Memory**. It is a type of volatile memory that temporarily stores data and machine code currently being used by the computer. RAM allows for quick read and write access to a storage medium, enabling the CPU to access data quickly as needed while running applications. Since it is volatile, the data stored in RAM is lost when the computer is turned off.

The statement is incorrect. **Solid State Drives (SSDs)** do not use rapidly rotating disks to store and retrieve digital information. Instead, SSDs utilize **flash memory** to store data, which allows for faster data access and retrieval speeds compared to traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) that rely on spinning disks (platters) and moving read/write heads. This absence of mechanical parts in SSDs contributes to their durability, speed, and lower power consumption.

Examples of volatile storage include:

- **Random Access Memory (RAM)**: This is the most common example of volatile storage. It temporarily holds data that the CPU needs while performing tasks, but it loses all stored information when the power is turned off.
