Hard Disk Drive Storage is the most commonly used for high-capacity storage. Flash memory storage in the form of Solid-State Drives are slowly replacing HHDs, however, since they are faster and wear based on data transfer, rather than run time. R.A.M. is also used in every computer for temporary memory since it has a greater read-write speed than these other two kinds of memory. Other storage methods include optical disk drives (CD/DVD drive), "Thumb" (Flash) drives, and the older methods of magnetic disk storage: Floppy Disks and Zip Drives.
