Types of Computer Memory Explained by Sayani Chandra is a document available to read on EtoBox.
Computer memory can be categorized as either primary storage or secondary storage. Primary storage, such as RAM, temporarily stores active data and instructions for the CPU and has very fast access times. Secondary storage, such as hard disks, can hold much larger amounts of data for longer periods but has slower access times. A memory hierarchy with faster but smaller memory caches helps improve CPU performance by allowing more frequent access to actively used data and instructions.
