Question

The CPU doesn't have to access the hard drive every time it needs to read or write data.

TRUE or FALSE

Answer 1

True.

Explanation:

CPU doesn't have to access the hard drive every time it needs to read or write. In fact if it is the case it affects the performance of system to large extent. Frequently accessing files or OS files or important files which are once opened kept in temporary storage like RAM, cache or registers. It makes CPU accessing easy and efficient. Once the application is closed it is removed form temporary storage and if anything is modified it has been first saved to hard drive and then it is removed for making memory available for other application. CPU accesses hard drive only when it is not find required data in RAM, Cache or registers.
