DEFINITION OF
MEMORY
An electronic or physicalDEVICE
device used to store
information (data) and protect that
information. These devices can store
information in digital or analog form and then
make it available to other users or systems.
Memory devices are one of the most
fundamental components of information

reprogrammed.
PRIMARY MEMORY
1- RAM
It is a type of Temporary Memory (Volatile Memory) used to store
information available during computer operation. The name Random Access
is derived from the fact that data can be read or written to in any way
(unordered).
TYPES OF RAM

20%

DRAM : It is 15% SRAM : It is very fast and


moderately fast and does not require constant
widely used updates
40%

25%
SDRAM : It has good DDR RAM : It is very
speed and works with the fast and used in
system clock modern computers
PRIMARY MEMORY
2- ROM
(Read-Only Memory) is a type of non-volatile memory that is used in
computers and other electronic devices to store firmware or permanent
data. Unlike RAM (Random Access Memory), ROM retains its data even when
the power is turned off. It is primarily used for storing essential software,

SECONDARY MEMORY

Hard disk drive


( HDD )
• Storage capacity: Ranges from 500GB to 20TB or more.

• Slower speed compared to SSDs due to moving parts.

• More affordable per gigabyte than SSDs

• Consumes more power than SSDs.


SOLID STATE DRIVE ( SSD )

Solid State drive


( SSD )
• Faster read speeds than HDDs, reducing boot and loading times.

• No moving parts, making them more durable and shock-resistant.

• Lower power consumption, which extends battery life in laptops.

• Higher cost per gigabyte compared to HDDs.


FLASH MEMORY USB
Flash memory is a type of non-
volatile storage that retains
data even when power is lost. It
is used in portable storage
devices such as USB flash
drives and memory cards.

• Transferring files between computers and


devices.

• .Storage for cameras, smartphones, and


tablets.
OPTICAL DISCs
Optical discs are storage devices that use laser technology to read
and write data. They were widely used for music, movies, software,
and backups, but their usage has declined with the rise of USB
drives and cloud storage.
TYPES OF OPTICAL DISCs
DVDs
Used for movies, games,
and software installations

Blu-ray
CDs
Mostly used for music and
Discs
small software installations Designed for high-definition
in the past (HD) and 4K video content.
EMERGING MEMORY TECHNOLOGIES
3D & MRAM
As storage needs evolve, new memory technologies are being
developed to provide higher speed, better durability
OUR SERVICES
3D Xpoint
Memory
Used in Intel Optane
memory to speed up
hard drives and
SSDs.

Can potentially
replace both RAM and
flash memory in
future devices.

MRAM
CONCLUSIONS

Memory devices have evolved significantly


over time, from early storage like floppy
disks to advanced solid-state drives and
cloud storage.
