Computer Storage Systems
Hard Disk and Ram
Hard Disk
The hard disk is where data gets stored to then be opened later and to just be stored. Any data left there will remain there until deleted. even if its been deleted there are still traces of it and the only way to actually get rid of it is by destroying the disk itself.
Ram
Ram is where you store your data temporarily. like open tabs on the internet or CD/DVDs that it is processing or reading.
