DEFINITION OF
MEMORY DEVICE
An electronic or physical 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 technology
TYPES OF MEMORY
01 02 03
Virtual Memory Register Memory Optical Memory
fastest and smallest memory
Uses disk space to It stores data on discs such
in CPU, stores frequently
simulate additional RAM, as CDs and DVDs
used data
04 05 06
Magnetic Tape Memory EEPROM Cloud Storage
It stores data on a tape It is a volatile memory that can It is online storage
coated with magnetic be electrically erased and accessed through the
material reprogrammed. Internet.
PRIMARY MEMORY
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 moderately
15%
SRAM : It is very fast and does
fast and widely used not require constant updates
40%
25%
SDRAM : It has good speed and DDR RAM : It is very fast
works with the system clock and used in modern
computers
SECONDARY MEMORY
ROM
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
CDs Blu-ray Discs
Mostly used for music and small Designed for high-definition (HD)
software installations in the past 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.
