16 Facts About Auxiliary memory
2.
Core Auxiliary memory remained dominant until the 1970s, when advances in integrated circuit technology allowed semiconductor Auxiliary memory to become economically competitive.
| FactSnippet No. 978,185 |
3.
Spare Auxiliary memory can be utilized as RAM drive for temporary high-speed data storage.
| FactSnippet No. 978,186 |
4.
Main Auxiliary memory is directly or indirectly connected to the central processing unit via a Auxiliary memory bus.
| FactSnippet No. 978,187 |
5.
Many types of "ROM" are not literally read only, as updates to them are possible; however it is slow and Auxiliary memory must be erased in large portions before it can be re-written.
| FactSnippet No. 978,188 |
6.
Tertiary storage or tertiary Auxiliary memory is a level below secondary storage.
| FactSnippet No. 978,189 |
7.
Optical discs and flash Auxiliary memory devices are most popular, and to much lesser extent removable hard disk drives.
| FactSnippet No. 978,190 |
8.
Non-volatile Auxiliary memory retains the stored information even if not constantly supplied with electric power.
| FactSnippet No. 978,191 |
9.
Volatile Auxiliary memory requires constant power to maintain the stored information.
| FactSnippet No. 978,192 |
10.
The fastest Auxiliary memory technologies are volatile ones, although that is not a universal rule.
| FactSnippet No. 978,193 |
11.
Dynamic random-access Auxiliary memory is a form of volatile Auxiliary memory that requires the stored information to be periodically reread and rewritten, or refreshed, otherwise it would vanish.
| FactSnippet No. 978,194 |
12.
Static random-access Auxiliary memory is a form of volatile Auxiliary memory similar to DRAM with the exception that it never needs to be refreshed as long as power is applied; it loses its content when the power supply is lost.

13.
Hardware Auxiliary memory encryption is available in Intel Architecture, supporting Total Memory Encryption and page granular Auxiliary memory encryption with multiple keys .
| FactSnippet No. 978,196 |
14.
Semiconductor Auxiliary memory uses semiconductor-based integrated circuit chips to store information.
| FactSnippet No. 978,197 |
15.
Since the turn of the century, a type of non-volatile floating-gate semiconductor Auxiliary memory known as flash Auxiliary memory has steadily gained share as off-line storage for home computers.
| FactSnippet No. 978,198 |
16.
Non-volatile semiconductor Auxiliary memory is used for secondary storage in various advanced electronic devices and specialized computers that are designed for them.
