Study Notes
Data Storage
- Data storage refers to the use of recording media to retain data using computers or other devices.
- The three most prevalent forms of data storage are:
- File storage
- Block storage
- Object storage
- Each type of data storage is ideal for different purposes.
Computer Memory
- Computer memory is of two basic types:
- Primary memory
- Secondary memory
Primary Memory
- Primary Memory is a section of computer memory that the CPU can access directly.
- Primary Memory has a faster access time than secondary memory.
- There are two main types of primary memory:
- Random Access Memory (RAM)
- Read Only Memory (ROM)
Random-Access Memory (RAM)
- Random-access memory (RAM) is a form of electronic computer memory.
- RAM can be read and changed in any order.
- RAM is typically used to store working data.
- RAM is primary-volatile memory, meaning its contents are lost when the power is turned off.
- There are two main types of volatile random-access memory.
