RAM means Random Access Memory. It store data temporaly. It called primary storing device. The two main forms of modern RAM are static RAM (SRAM) and dynamic RAM.

Harddisk is the primary storing device within the computer. It can store data permanently (until you delete the data). It can retain data even after the computer itself "dies". Therefore, one harddisk can be switched to a different computer of similar size.

An external harddisk can store huge amounts of data within a desktop unit. It can store data permanently (until you delete the data).
