RAM & ROM

RAM & ROM

1. V

2. RAM

   • >RAM = Random Access Memory
   • RAM is volatile
     • Volatile (in terms of a computer) means that memory can only be retained if a power supply is connected.
   • When the device is turned off, the RAM will lose it's data and can't be restored when the device is turned on again.
   • Static RAM (SRAM) is faster but more expensive than Dynamic RAM (DRAM).

3. ROM

   • >ROM = Read-Only Memory
   • ROM is non-volatile
     • Non-volatile means that memory can still be retained even after the power supply was previously off.
   • In contrast, the ROM will still keep the data when it is turned off.
