There really aren't different types of memory, but there are different ways in which memory is stored. Hard drives have a large storage capacity and are meant for storing different files (photos, videos, etc) whereas RAM (or Random Access Memory) is used to temporarily store information the computer needs to run. The higher your RAM, the faster your computer (generally)

Yes, it is rotational memory. It could also be classified as static memory, since it retains information even when power is removed.
