  • The full form of RAM is Random Access Memory.

To write & read into storage, RAM has been used. RAM preserves files & programme data that the CPU is running. As data is lost when power is switched off, it is a volatile memory. RAM can be further subdivided into two categories, SRAM (Static RAM) and DRAM (Dynamic RAM).

ROM is specifically referred to as Read Only Memory. It is a type of computer memory that can not be overwritten, but can be read alone.

  • The full form of CD is Compact Disk.

The CD is a flat, tiny-rounded storage unit that can store information of up to 700 mb and 4.75 inches in diameter. It is compact, so it is possible to carry wherever. Because its consistency does not degrade with time & long duration, we could operate it countless time. CDs can store digital formats of any information, such as video, audio, text, photographs, and so on. The data is stored on the disc in the form of tiny notches, and when the disc is performed, the information is interpreted from an optical drive by a laser.

  • The full form of DVD is Digital Versatile Disc.

DVD is a digital optical disc storage format which was developed and invented in 1995 and used to store high-capacity files, such as top-standard videos and movies. VCDs were standard optical digital storage disks before invention, but DVDs have higher capacity than compact discs of almost the same size and shape.
