👉 Computing holds, also known as memory or storage, refers to the capacity and performance of a computer's ability to store and retrieve data. It encompasses various types of memory, including volatile RAM (Random Access Memory) and non-volatile storage like SSDs (Solid State Drives) or HDDs (Hard Disk Drives), each serving distinct purposes. RAM is fast and temporary, used for active processes, while storage devices are slower but retain data even when the computer is powered off. Holds computing involves understanding how these storage mediums manage data, including their capacity, speed (measured in IOPS - Input/Output Operations Per Second), and the efficiency of data access and retrieval. Effective management of these holds is crucial for optimal system performance, ensuring that frequently accessed data is readily available and that the system can handle multiple tasks simultaneously without significant slowdowns.
