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.

Compare scientific computers to large business computers?

scientific computers can be any computer that can record data, usually large business computers are data transferring and data storage computers, unless your talking about office workers, then that's a different story. scientific computer are mostly used to crucnch data information as mathematics and formulas.

Where and why ROM and RAM is used?

ROM (Read-only memory) is storage used in the older computers. It can not be modified or changed in any way. It is mainly used to distribute firmware. RAM (Random-access memory) is a form of storage data, which most modern computers use. RAM can be bought in strips and slot into computers circuit boards.
