RAM means Random access memory, which is used as a temporary memory space to load Operating system kernel, driver modules and services needed on the system.
Whenever you switch off the system all the RAM memory contents are lost.
Hard disks are for permanent data storage. So hard disks generally have a huge capacity compared to RAM which is temporary memory space. |
