Understanding RAM and Storage Devices
Both RAM (Random Access Memory) and storage devices are essential for a computer’s performance, but they serve different purposes. Let’s explore their roles, types, and differences
What is RAM (Random Access Memory)?
RAM is the short-term memory of a computer. It temporarily stores data that the CPU needs right now or very soon. The more RAM you have, the more applications your system can run simultaneously and smoothly.
What Are Storage Devices?
Storage devices hold long-term data, including your operating system, apps, documents, games, and media. Unlike RAM, storage retains data even when the power is off.
