7) Static RAM ( SRAM ) , and Dynamic RAM ( DRAM ) are it's two types.

ROM:

1)ROM is non-volatile, means the data will not be deleted during the power off.

2) The information stored in ROM cannot be directly accessed.

3) ROM is used to store permanent information.

4) The information can only be read from ROM. no data can be added or deleted.

5) The accessing speed of ROM is lower than RAM.

6) The ROM's are less costlier than RAM.

7) programmable Read Only Memory ( PROM ) ,Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory ( EPROM and Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory ( EEPROM ) are it's three types.
