RAM vs. Memory: Know the Difference

Shumaila Saeed
By Shumaila Saeed || Updated on December 25, 2023
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of volatile memory used for temporary data storage by a computer, while Memory generally refers to all data storage components in a computer, including both temporary (RAM) and permanent storage (like hard drives).
RAM vs. Memory

Key Differences

RAM (Random Access Memory) is a specific type of computer memory used primarily for storing data that is actively being used or processed by the CPU. This kind of memory is volatile, meaning it loses its contents when the power is turned off. In contrast, the term Memory in computers broadly encompasses all types of data storage, including RAM, hard drives, SSDs, and more, which can be either volatile or non-volatile.

The speed at which data can be read from and written to RAM is significantly faster than most other forms of memory storage. This speed makes RAM ideal for tasks requiring quick access to data, like running applications and operating system processes. General Memory, however, includes both fast-access storage like RAM and slower, long-term storage solutions like hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs).

RAM's capacity is typically much smaller than the total memory capacity of a computer. For example, a computer may have 8 GB of RAM but 1 TB of total storage memory including the hard drive. The smaller size of RAM is due to its role in short-term data access and higher cost per gigabyte compared to permanent storage memory.

In terms of functionality, RAM acts as a temporary workspace for the CPU, allowing it to access data quickly and efficiently. Other forms of Memory, particularly permanent storage, serve to store data long-term, retaining information even when the computer is powered off.

Finally, upgrading RAM can significantly improve a computer's performance, particularly in multitasking and running memory-intensive applications. On the other hand, increasing overall Memory capacity, such as adding a larger hard drive, mainly expands the amount of data that can be stored rather than directly impacting processing speed.
