RAM is Random Access Memory. It holds open programs and files. The more programs and files that you have open, the slower your computer gets. When you save a file, the program stays open on RAM, but the file gets saved to the Hard Drive. ROM is Read Only Memory. It is memory that is hard to change, modify, and update. SSD - Solid State Drive. Solid State drives stores/transfers files at a faster rate than Hard Disk Drives. They are also less volatile than HDD's. HDD - Hard Disk Drive. A Hard Disk Drive stores your files on a hard disk. It is slower than an SSD and is more volatile than SSD too and should avoid magnets. Hope this helps

What is the differences between storage and memory?

It is very common for new computer users to be confused by what parts in the computer are memory. Although both the hard drive and RAM are considered memory, it is more appropriate to refer to RAM as "memory" or "primary memory" and a hard drive as "storage" or"secondary storage" and not memory. When a program such as your Internet brower is open, it is loaded from your hard drive and placed into RAM, which allows that program to communicate with the processor at higher speeds. Anything you save to your computer such as a picture or video is sent to your hard drive for storage. When someone asks how much memory is in your computer, it is likely between 1GB and 8GB of Random Access Memory (RAM) and several hundred Gigs of hard disk drive memory (storage). In other words, You will almost always have more hard drive space than RAM.
