Dynamic Random Access Memory contents need to be continuously refreshed. When its contents are being refreshed, memory can not be read from nor write to. Another point to note is that DRAM is cheap to manufacture (This could be the only advantage it has to SRAM).Where as in Static Random Access Memory, memory need not to be continuosly refreshed and therefore memory can be accessed at any time. SRAM is expensive to manufacture.
DRAM (Dynamic RAM) requires that the data held be refreshed periodically, while SRAM (Static RAM) does not. This refresh rate makes DRAM a little slower than SRAM.
SRAM is faster and consumes less power than DRAM; however, because of this it is slightly more expensive.
Because SRAM does not need to be refreshed.
SRAM is faster.
Static RAM(SRAM) is faster. Dynamic RAM(DRAM) needs to be refreshed thousands of times per second while Static RAM does not need to be refreshed.
DRAM has a lower price. Further details below:

DRAM and SRAM
Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) entries are constant and fixed, the information stored in this type of memory does not degrade over time. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM) slowly leaks over time and must be refreshed from time to time.
SRAM DRAM SDRAM XRAM is not a form of RAM.
Static RAM and dynamic RAM are two available types of computer RAM, or Random Access Memory. One advantage of static RAM is speed, while a disadvantage is cost. An advantage of dynamic RAM is storage space, while a disadvantage would be speed.

DDR and DDR2
---SRAM--- Static random access memory (SRAM) is a type of semiconductor memory where the word static indicates that it, unlike dynamic RAM (DRAM), does not need to be periodically refreshed, as SRAM uses bistable latching circuitry to store each bit. SRAM exhibits data remanence, but is still volatile in the conventional sense that data is eventually lost when the memory is not powered. The term SDRAM, which stands for synchronous DRAM, should not be confused with SRAM.
•Dynamic cell (DRAM) -Simpler to build, smaller -More dense -Less expensive -Needs refresh -Larger memory units •Static (SRAM) -Faster -Cache
This is incorrect. DRAM is a digital device, and so is SRAM. DRAM and SRAM serve the same functions- temporary storage space (or random access memory, hence 'RAM') in different ways. DRAM data is typically refreshed every so often, uses more power than SRAM and is much slower, but also much cheaper and easier to manufacture in huge sizes. SRAM, such as the cache on CPUs, is much smaller and faster, and stores data until it is cleared or the computer is turned off (and in some cases, even without power) but is extremely expensive.
