if you clicked on a program like word it would launch from your hard drive into Ram so you can make changes like type a report. When you save and close word the program exits and goes back into storage on your hard drive.
Next the hard drive itself which is all about Rotations per minute (Rpm) the faster the hard drive spins the faster it can access data, i usually turn to tweaking windows to run faster before upgrading a hard drive for just speed. This is how i view today's speeds so you have a clue as to whats good and whats not.
rpm
3500- obsolete
5600-slow
7000-standard
10000-high
15000-super fast
