Computer stores data in the form of bits or binary digits

RAM/Primary memory/

Smaller Data capacity

Like short term memory
Stores data temporarily for easy access
Random Access Memory
Faster read and write as data access is random
It is volatile memory
Need more RAM space for Multi-tasking or demanding tasks like video editing
Most common type of RAM is Dynamic RAM
Here each memory cell consists of a transistor and capacitor
Small high speed internal memory cache made from Static RAM
Made up of 6 interlocked transistors which do not need constant charge refreshment

ROM/Hard drive/Secondary memory

Higher data capacity

Long term memory------magnetic (HDD),optical(CD),floating gate transistors(SSD)
Lower read write speed
