Computer data storage, often called storage or memory, refers to computer components and recording media that retain digital data used for computing for some interval of time. Computer data storage provides one of the core functions of the modern computer, that of information retention. It is one of the fundamental components of all modern computers, and coupled with a central processing unit (CPU, a processor), implements the basic computer model used since the 1940s.
In contemporary usage, memory usually refers to a form of semiconductor storage known as random-access memory (RAM) and sometimes other forms of fast but temporary storage. Similarly, storage today more commonly refers to mass storage - optical discs, forms of magnetic storage like hard disk drives, and other types slower than RAM, but of a more permanent nature. Historically, memory and storage were respectively called main memory andsecondary storage (or auxiliary storage). Auxiliary storage (or auxiliary memory units) was also used to represent memory which was not directly accessible by the CPU (secondary or tertiary storage). The terms internal memory and external memory are also used.
The contemporary distinctions are helpful, because they are also fundamental to the architecture of computers in general. The distinctions also reflect an important and significant technical difference between memory and mass storage devices, which has been blurred by the historical usage of the termstorage. Nevertheless, this article uses the traditional nomenclature.
good schools like in sheffield westways primary they are nice teachers and are good teachers and are nice people
Main Memory in Motherboard i.e. SIMMs, Cache Memory are called as Primary Storage Units.
read only memory(ram)
there are two types of primary storage
secondary storage , primary storage , temporary storage
RAM CACHE REgisters of processors
No. ROM and RAM are primary storage. Examples of secondary storage would be floppy disk, hard disk, flash drive, etc. haahahaha
the another name for primary storage is main storage device.
Primary storages are volatile. An Example of primary storage : RAM whereas, Secondary storages are permanent. An Example of secondary storage : ROM
ram is primary storage
No. The secondary storage is typically slowerthan primary storage. But the secondary storage has higher capacity than primary storage.
The primary means of storage of a computer is the RAM memory which is a volatile memory.
RAM is a primary storage medium, but it is volatile. Cache memories storage frequently accessible data.
Primary and Secondary storage.
