I see that often people do come to forums to ask about practical solutions for their mundane problems and to obtain functional-based answers. Well, I'm here to ask about how storage hardware works on the electronics level.
First of all, how magnetic data storage differs from the flash one? How bunches of data are stored in a flash drive compared to a mechanical one? Why when you do turn off your PC, console or gadget the stored data doesn't degrade and "die"?
I've been working on the "surface" level of IT, understanding the operational factor of software/hardware but never questioned the basis of it all.
P.S.: English isn't my native language, so please consider it.
