4. PROM is provided blank to the programmer.
5. The instructions that are written onto ROM cannot be altered.
6. A portable hard disk is generally used for taking back up.
7. Static RAMs (SRAMs) use internal capacitors as basic storage elements.
8. An optical disk is an example of magnetic storage.
9. If a memory design allows a storage location to be accessed without first sequencing through
other locations, it is called Random Access Memory.
10. Main computer memory is usually DRAM because of its high density and low cost; cache memory
is usually SRAM because of its high speed.
