2 Types of memory
RAM (Random Access Memory)
-RAM is volatile memory that stores the
files you are working on.

ROM (Read-Only Memory)


-ROM is non-volatile memory that
permanently stores instructions for your
computer
2 Types of RAM
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access SRAM (Static Random Access
Memory) Memory)
-It is a semi-conductor memory. -It is a volatile memory where
The data here is only held the data is lost only when the
periodically making it need to power has been turned off. It will
refresh often. hold tha data permanently as
long as there is power.
Types of Storage
HDD (Hard Disk Drive) SSD (Solid State Drive)
-uses disk to store data -uses chips to store data

-3.5” HDD is bigger and used for


computer -more faster and expensive than
HDD
-2.5” HDD is smaller and is
usually used for laptop
