Which of the following is a type of memory that is used for storing firmware?
A. Cache
B. Hard disk
C. RAM
D. ROM
Answer: Option D
Solution (By JKSSB Mock Tests)
Firmware (like BIOS) is stored in ROM (or flash memory) because it is non-volatile and retains data without power, and is not meant to be frequently changed.
Explanation:
Platters in a hard disk rotate at a constant speed (e.g., 7200 RPM). They are made of aluminum/glass with magnetic coating, not silicon, and are used in HDDs, not SSDs.
Explanation:
EEPROM stands for Electrically Erasable Programmable Read-Only Memory. It is erased and rewritten digitally by applying specific electrical currents to its pins.
