Answer:

1) Memory is internal storage areas in the computer system. The term memory identifies data storage that comes in the form of chips, and the word storage is used for memory that exists on tapes or disks. Moreover, the term memory is usually used as a shorthand for physical memory, which refers to the actual chips capable of holding data. Some computers also use virtual memory, which expands physical memory onto a hard disk. There are three types of memory: sensory memory, short-term memory, and long-term memory.

2) A removable storage drive is used for storing and transporting data from one computer to another. It will allow you to read (open), write (make changes and save), copy, add, and delete files. It connects to a computer through a USB port.

3) 1. Hard Disk Drive

A hard disk drive (also known as a hard drive, HD, or HDD) can be found installed in almost every desktop computer and laptop. It stores files for the operating system and software programs, as well as user documents, such as photographs, text files, videos, and audio. The hard drive uses magnetic storage to record and retrieve digital information to and from one or more fast-spinning disks.

2. Floppy Disk

Also know as a diskette, floppy, or FD, the floppy disk is another type of storage medium that uses magnetic storage technology to store information. Floppy disks were once a common storage device for computers and lasted from the mid-1970's through to the start of the 21st century. The earliest floppies were 8-inch (203 mm) in size, but these were replaced by 5 1⁄4-inch (133 mm) disk drives, and finally a 3 1⁄2 inch (90 mm) version.

3. Tape

In the past, magnetic tape was often used for digital data storage, because of its low cost and ability to store large amounts of data. The technology essentially consisted of a magnetically thin coated piece of plastic wrapped around wheels. Its relative slowness and unreliability compared to other data storage solutions has resulted in it now being largely abandoned as a media.

4. Compact Disc (CD)

The compact disc, known for short as a CD, is a form of optical storage, a technology which employs lasers and lights to read and write data. Initially compact discs were used purely for music, but in the late 1980's they began to be also used for computer data storage. Initially, the compact discs that were introduced were CD-ROM's (read only), but this was followed by CD-R's (writable compact discs) and CD-RW's (re-writable compact discs)

5. DVD and Blu-ray Discs

The DVD (digital versatile disc) and Blu-ray disc (BD) are formats of digital optical disc data storage which have superseded compact discs, mainly because of their much greater storage capacity. A Blu-ray disc, for example, can store 25 GB (gigabytes) of data on a single-layer disc and 50 GB on a dual-layer disc. In comparison, a standard CD is the same physical size, but only holds 700 MB (megabytes) of digital data.

4)Depends on the method of which you'll be using the two.

Obviously if you're just planning on listening to music, a CD is often the best choice UNLESS your player can also read data off a DVD, then the question is how much audio are you planning on storing on the device. And of course if you're putting a movie on the device, a DVD is essentially your only option, within reason that is.

If you're just saving files, well the device of which has adequate space for the files you plan on saving. In other words, if you only plan on saving 100MB of files to the device, a DVD is utter overkill because it can hold 4.7GB on a single layer DVD and up to 17GB on a double-sided double-layer DVd, where as a CD can hold 700MB.

In terms of read/write speeds, DVD are substantially faster at 10MB/s, where as CDs are around 150KBs read/write. But again, this is due to the vast amount of storage space on a DVD in comparison to a CD. The read/write speeds aren't a huge deal with CDs because you're not storing Gigabytes of information like you would on a DVD.

But ultimately it ALL comes down to use. Unless you're storing more than 700MB, CD is more than suffice, but if you're talking about burning a DVD or storing large files, a DVD is likely your best choice.
