Hardware Understanding

You will be provided with a specific scenario (see chart below) that could occur in a computer. You are to create a step-by-step list (think 20 - 30 steps, including the computer components) in replit showing your understanding of how the scenario works from a computer hardware perspective.

Your steps must make clear the purpose of each computer component (and how they communicate with each other) within the context of your scenario.

Scenario is: The user clicks on the Save button on a program that is local to the computer. Mouse - ? - ? - ? - Solid State Drive

Hint: The CPU and RAM are always included in all scenarios.

Within your step-by-step list, you must have a highly detailed breakdown of one of the following computer components (in the chart below). Include the specifications in your response.

Hardware Components	Required specifications to include
Central Processing Unit	Arithmetic logic unit, Memory management unit, cache, clock rate
Hard Disk Drive or Solid State Drive	Reading/writing of data, cache, units of space
Random Access Memory (volatile)	Reading/writing of data, addressing, speed
Video/Graphics Card	GPU, Video memory, RAMDAC, 1 of the output interfaces (VGA, DVI, HDMI, etc.)

This is your step by step explanation of what happens from a computer hardware perspective:

The user clicks on the Save button on a program that is local to the computer.

The signal is sent from the mouse to the motherboard.

The motherboard routes the signal to the CPU.

The CPU receives the signal and begins to process it.

4) The CPU sends a request to the RAM to provide the necessary resources to complete the save operation.

5) The RAM responds to the request and sends the necessary data to the CPU.

6) The CPU uses the data provided by the RAM to perform the necessary computations and create a file to be saved.

The CPU sends a write command to the storage device.

The storage device receives the write command and prepares for data transfer.

The CPU sends the file data to the storage device.

The storage device writes the file data to its cache.

The storage device allocates a block of space on its storage media to store the file.

The storage device writes the file data from the cache to the allocated space on its storage media.

The storage device updates its file allocation table to reflect the new file.

The storage device sends a signal to the motherboard indicating that the save operation is complete.

The motherboard sends the signal to the CPU.

The CPU responds to the motherboard with a success signal.

The motherboard sends the signal to the RAM.

The RAM responds to the motherboard with a success signal.

The motherboard sends the signal to the mouse indicating that the save operation is complete.

You mentioned that the CPU sends a request to RAM to provide the necessary resources for example. Instead of the word necessary,could you go into more detail in each every step,so I can see what exactly are the 'necessary' resources and data, and what exactly is being transferred and how things are being transferred.
