WHATISMEMORYA memory is just like ahuman brain.
It is used to store data and
instructions.
Computer memory is the
storage space in computer
where data is to be
processed and instructions
required for processing arestored.

COMPUTERMEMORY Two basic categories of computer memory:
Pr imarystorage and secondary storage.
Primarystores small amounts of data and
information that will be immediately used by theCPU.
Secondarystores much larger amounts of data
and information (an entire software program, for
example) for extended periods of time.

PRIMARYSTORAGE Primary memory holds only those data and
instructions on which computer is currently working.It has limited capacity and data gets lost whenpower is switched off.
Primary storage takes place in chips mounted onthe computers main circuit board, called themotherboard .
Four main types of primary storage: register,random access memory (RAM), cache memoryand read-only memory (ROM).

TYPESOFPRIMARYSTORAGE Registers:registers are part of the CPU with the
least capacity, storing extremely limited amounts ofinstructions and data only immediately before andafter processing.
Random access memory (RAM): The part ofprimary storage that holds a software program andsmall amounts of data when they are brought fromsecondary storage.
Cache memory:A type of primary storage wherethe computer can temporarily store blocks of dataused more often.

TYPESPRIMARYSTORAGE CONTINUED) Read-only memory (ROM): Type of primary
storage where certaincritical instructions aresafeguarded;the storage is nonvolatileand retainsthe instructions whenthe power to the computer isturned off.
Flash memory:A form ofrewritable read-onlymemory thatis compact, portable, and requireslittleenergy.

Random Access Memory RAM) holds its data as long as the computer is switched on
All data in RAM is lost when the computer is switched off
Described as being volatile
It is direct accessas it can be both written to or read from in
any order
Its purpose is to temporarily hold programs and data for processing.
In modern computers it also holds the operating system

Types of RAM1. Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAM)
It has short data lifetime
Need to refresh continuously
Slower as compared to SRAM
Used as RAM
Lesser in size
Less expensive
Less power consumption
10
2. Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
It has long data lifetime
There is no need to refresh
FasterUsed as cache memory
Large size
Expensive
High power consumption

Read only memory ROM)ROM holds programs and data permanentlyeven when computer is
switched off
Data can be read by the CPU in any order so ROM is also direct access
The contents of ROM are fixed at the time of manufacture
Stores a program called the bootstrap loaderthat helps start up the
computer
Access time of between 10 and 50 nanoseconds

Types of ROM3. Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory (EEPROM)
Reprogrammed electrically without using ultraviolet light
Must be removed from the computer and placed in a special machine to do this
Access times between 45 and 200 nanoseconds
4. Flash ROM
Similar to EEPROM
However, can be reprogrammed while still in the computer
Easier to upgrade programs stored in Flash ROM
Used to store programs in devices e.g. modems
Access time is around 4590 nanoseconds

SECONDARYSTORAGE
Memory capacity that can store very large amounts ofdata for extended periodsof time. It is nonvolatile.
It takes much more time to retrieve data because of the
electromechanical nature.
It is cheaper than primary storage.
It can take place on a variety of media

HARDDISK
A hard disk is part of a unit, often called a "disk drive," "hard
drive," or "hard disk drive,"
Stores and provides relatively quick access to large amounts
of data

PEN DRIVE It is a data storage devicethat includes flash
memorywith an integrated Universal Serial
Bus(USB) interface.
USB flash drives are typically removable and
rewritable, and physically much smaller than
an optical disc.

MEMORYCARDORFLASHCARD It is an electronic flash memorydata storage
deviceused for storing digital information.
They are commonly used in many electronic
devices, including digital cameras, mobile
phones, laptop computers, MP3 playersand videogame consoles.
Most of these can be re-recordable, and can retain
data without power.

OPTICAL DISKA storagemediumfrom which datais readand to
which it is written by lasers.
There are three basic types of optical disks:
CD-ROM:Like audio CDs, CD-ROMs come with
data already encoded onto them. The data ispermanent and can be read any number of times,but CD-ROMs cannot be modified.
WORM:Stands for write-once, read -many.With aWORM disk drive, you can writedata onto aWORM disk, but only once. After that, the WORMdisk behaves just like a CD-ROM.
Erasable:Optical disks that can be erased andloaded with new data, just like magnetic disks.

circular disk and protected by a plastic or acrylic cover

Number of tracks on disk ranges from few hundred to a
few thousand
Each track typically ranges from tens of KB to 150KB

Because a track usually contains large amount of
information, it is divided in to smaller blocks called
sectors.
The division of a track into sectors is hard coded on thedisk surface and cannot be changed.

FLOPPYDISKA floppy diskis a disk storagemedium composed
of a disk of thin and flexible magnetic
storagemedium, sealed in a rectangular plastic
carrier lined with fabric that removes dust particles.
Floppy disks are read and written by a floppy disk
drive(FDD).
