can you explain for me all the different types of memory, from PRIMARY MEMORY (like RAM) to AUXILIARY MEMORY (like USB storage). Remember that - strictly speaking - even storage like a hard disk drive is a type of memory.

- Given that RAM (Random Access Memory) is a temporary storage medium, is it possible for computer memory to satisfy all of our requirements?arrow_forwardThere are many different kinds of digital memory that may be used, such as cache memory, hard disc drives (HDD), random access memory (RAM), solid state drives (SSD), and others. Cache memory is used to store frequently used data. The use of computers makes all of these things available to the user. Is it beneficial to have a variety of standards, or would it be more convenient for customers if there was only one memory standard, with the exception of varying sizes of solid-state drives (SSDs)? If having numerous standards has any advantages, what exactly are those advantages? Is there any advantage to having a wide variety of standards to choose from? If there was just one standard that needed to be adhered to, would that make things easier and more economical for customers?arrow_forwardGive an example to demonstrate your idea about memory preservation.arrow_forward
- What exactly is the key distinction between primary and secondary memory, anyhow?arrow_forwardThe notion of a memory hierarchy is explained in detail here. How did you decide that a pyramid would best reflect the work of your authors?arrow_forwardIf random access memory (RAM) can serve as a volatile storage medium, then what need is there for cache memory, given that it, too, is built on transistors? Can one kind of computer memory be used for everything?arrow_forward
