Answer:

The most basic distinction is between types of computer memory is between primary memory - often called system memory - and secondary memory, which is more commonly called storage.

Explanation:

Computer memory is a generic term for all of the different types of data storage technology that a computer may use, including RAM, ROM, and flash memory.

Some types of computer memory are designed to be very fast, meaning that the central processing unit (CPU) can access data stored there very quickly. Other types are designed to be very low cost, so that large amounts of data can be stored there economically.

Another way that computer memory can vary is that some types are non-volatile, which means they can store data on a long term basis even when there is no power. And some types are volatile, which are often faster, but which lose all the data stored on them as soon as the power is switched off.

A computer system is built using a combination of these types of computer memory, and the exact configuration can be optimized to produce the maximum data processing speed or the minimum cost, or some compromise between the two.

Types of Computer Memory: Primary and Secondary

Although many types of memory in a computer exist, the most basic distinction is between primary memory, often called system memory, and secondary memory, which is more commonly called storage.

The key difference between primary and secondary memory is speed of access.

Primary memory includes ROM and RAM, and is located close to the CPU on the computer motherboard, enabling the CPU to read data from primary memory very quickly indeed. It is used to store data that the CPU needs imminently so that it does not have to wait for it to be delivered.

Secondary memory by contrast, is usually physically located within a separate storage device, such as a hard disk drive or solid state drive (SSD), which is connected to the computer system either directly or over a network. The cost per gigabyte of secondary memory is much lower, but the read and write speeds are significantly slower.
