Random Access Memory (RAM) is not used for storage. A random access storage device is the hard drive, where data can be stored and accessed randomly. Any data on the volatile RAM is lost when the computer is switched off.
floppy disks are read/write storage devices, they are a backing store, a non-volatile long term storage which will not lose data when power is lost.Random access storage is the original term for RAM, the random access memory term was used a a marketing term and has stuck since.Another AnswerYES - floppy disk are Random Access storage devices.

Random Access memory
The term "random access" is not normally applied to machines. It is normally used to refer to a form of data storage in which data on any part of the medium can be accessed in constant time.
RAM - standing for Random Access Memory. The contents of RAM are lost when the computer is turned off.
A random access storage device, like a hard drive or SSD, can access information faster because it allows for direct retrieval of data from any location without the need to read through other data sequentially. In contrast, a sequential storage device, such as magnetic tape, requires the system to process data in order, often resulting in delays as it moves to the desired location. This characteristic of random access significantly enhances speed and efficiency when retrieving specific pieces of information.
