What is the difference between RAM Memory and Hard Drive?
Two of the most frequently confused computer terms are memory and hard drive space. The term memory refers to the amount of Random Access Memory (RAM) installed in your computer, whereas storage is a reference to the amount of hard drive space or “Disk Space”. The hard drive is used for permanent storage of files, programs and applications. Memory (RAM) is used for temporary storage of information that is in use while the computer is on and does not keep any information once the computer has been turned off.
