-A '''Data Buffer''' or a Buffer is where data is stored for a short amount of time, typically in the computer's memory ([[Random Access Memory (RAM)|RAM]]). The purpose of a buffer is to hold data right before it is used. For example, when you download an audio or video file from the Internet, it may load the first 20% of it into a buffer and then begin to play. While the clip plays back, the computer continually downloads the rest of the clip and stores it in the buffer. Because the clip is being played from the buffer, not directly from the Internet, there is less of a chance that the audio or video will stall or skip when there is network congestion.
+== What is Data Buffer? ==
-Buffering is used to improve several other areas of computer performance as well. Most [[Hard Disk Drive (HDD)|hard disks]] use a buffer to enable more efficient access to the data on the disk. Video cards send images to a buffer before they are displayed on the screen (known as a screen buffer). Computer programs use buffers to store data while they are running. If it were not for buffers, computers would run a lot less efficiently and we would be waiting around a lot more.<ref>Definition - What Does Data Buffer Mean?

+As another example, when printing a document, when the PRINT command is invoked by the system or the application, the print data is sent to the buffer and is then transferred to the printer. From there, the printer accesses the information. This frees the computer up to do other tasks while the PRINT command is being performed. One disadvantage to this system is that any data in the buffer during device failure is lost.<ref>[https://www.techopedia.com/definition/2759/buffer Examples of when buffering is used]</ref>
-===References===
+Buffers can increase application performance by allowing synchronous operations such as file reads or writes to complete quickly instead of blocking while waiting for hardware interrupts to access a physical disk subsystem; instead, an operating system can immediately return a successful result from an API call, allowing an application to continue processing while the kernel completes the disk operation in the background. Further benefits can be achieved if the application is reading or writing small blocks of data that do not correspond to the block size of the disk subsystem, allowing a buffer to be used to aggregate much smaller read or write operations into block sizes that are more efficient for the disk subsystem, or in the case of a read, sometimes to completely avoid having to physically access a disk.<ref>[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_buffer Applications of Data Buffers]</ref>
