Primary storage refers to memory in a computer system like RAM and ROM. Secondary storage is provided by peripheral devices like hard disks, floppy disks, optical disks, and tape drives to store large amounts of data outside of memory. Secondary storage is required for three reasons: 1) memory contents are volatile and lost when power is disconnected, 2) memory capacity is limited, and 3) memory is more expensive than secondary storage. Common secondary storage devices include floppy disks, hard disks, CDs, DVDs, and tape drives used for backups.
The document discusses the basic parts of a computer. It describes the four main parts as the CPU, display, input sources, and memory. The CPU performs all calculations and is housed in the tower. Inside the tower are the CPU fan, RAM, and ROM (hard drive). The RAM is the computer's short-term memory and impacts performance. The ROM is long-term storage for files, applications, and more. Both RAM and ROM come in varying storage sizes measured in megabytes and gigabytes.
The document discusses the basics of semiconductor memories. It explains that memory controllers establish information flow between memory and the CPU. Memory buses connect memory to the controller. Newer systems have frontside and backside buses connecting different components. During boot-up, the BIOS and operating system are loaded from ROM and hard drive into RAM for fast access by the CPU. Applications and files are also loaded into and removed from RAM as needed. The document compares different types of volatile and non-volatile memory in terms of speed, size, and cost.
Memory refers to computer components that hold digital data and programs. There are several types of memory that differ in speed and volatility. Primary storage like RAM is directly connected to the CPU and is volatile, requiring constant power. Secondary storage like hard disks have greater capacity but are slower and non-volatile. Tertiary storage provides even larger capacity for archiving data. Memory is also characterized as volatile, like RAM, or non-volatile, like ROM.
Primary memory (RAM and ROM) is the working memory of a computer that holds the data and instructions currently being processed. It is volatile and has limited capacity. Secondary memory (HDD, DVD, etc.) is used for permanent storage of large amounts of data and retains data even when powered off.

It is designed for the investigator who has digital forensic experience, and who has intermediate ability with the Microsoft Windows operating system
Without a significant amount of memory, a computer would merely be able to perform fixed operations and immediately output the result without storing them therefore some kind of memory is placed in the computer to store instructions for processor and data to be processed and also the output results for future use.
Basic information about Computer memoryRamesh Pant
This document discusses the three main types of computer memory: cache memory, primary/main memory, and secondary memory. Cache memory acts as a buffer between the CPU and main memory, holding frequently used data and programs for fast access by the CPU. Primary memory is the working memory that holds active data and instructions, while secondary memory provides permanent storage of data on disks, CDs, DVDs, and is slower than primary memory.
The document discusses different types of main memory used in computer systems including random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), programmable read-only memory (PROM), and erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM). It provides details on the storage capacity, access time, cost per bit, and volatility of main memory. It also describes cache memory as a small, fast memory directly accessible by the processor.
The CPU processes data and instructions and its speed is determined by bit size. The CPU fits into the motherboard beneath the heatsink. RAM temporarily stores files for fast access but is volatile, while ROM permanently stores startup instructions. Expansion cards like audio, video, and network cards add functionality. Storage devices include floppy disks, optical drives, hard drives, and external drives connected via interfaces like USB, SATA, and SCSI. Input devices control the computer and output devices display or output information.

Computer Memory and it types RAM ROM AND CACHE MEMORIESAbuBakar710430
Computer memory can be divided into three types: cache memory, primary memory (also known as main memory), and secondary memory. Cache memory is very fast semiconductor memory that stores the most frequently used data and programs from main memory to speed up the CPU. Primary memory, which includes RAM and ROM, is the working memory of the computer and allows data to be processed. Secondary memory has much larger storage capacity than primary memory and is used to permanently store large volumes of data, though it has slower access times. Common types of secondary memory include hard disks and optical disks.
