Storage space

The concept of digital storage refers to the act of collecting, digitizing and storing in an orderly
manner all the information that is generated on a computer.

Digital information storage. It appears as a necessity from the emergence and development of
new Information and Communication Technologies. Digital storage media include hard drives,
optical media, such as compact discs (CDs) and digital versatile discs (DVD), and memory cards.

RAM

The Random Access Memory or RAM (English acronym for Random Access Memory), is a
semiconductor memory, in which information can be read as well as written. It is a volatile
memory, that is, it loses its content when disconnected from electricity. RAM is the most
important storage component of a modern computer, next to the hard disk. RAM memory is
one of the computer components that has evolved the most in the last twenty years. If at the
end of the 80s the capacity of RAM memories was around 4 MB, now the normal thing is to buy
a computer with at least 1024 MB, (1 GB).

ROM

Read-only memory, also known as ROM, is a storage medium used in computers and electronic
devices that only allows information to be read and not written, regardless of the presence or
absence of a power source.

Cache

It is known as cache memory or fast access memory to one of the resources that a CPU (Central
Processing Unit, that is, Central Processing Unit) has to temporarily store recently processed
data in a special buffer, that is, in an auxiliary memory.
