Detailed explanation-1: -The correct answer is RAM is the same as hard disk storage. The computer has both RAM and ROM, which stands for random access memory and read-only memory, respectively. RAM is volatile memory, which means that when you restart or shut down your computer, the information temporarily held in the module is deleted.
Detailed explanation-2: -The capacity of RAM is 256 MB to 32 GB. The capacity of hard disk is 500 GB to 8 TB. Thus, hard disk can store more data in comparison to RAM and hence has more capacity.
Detailed explanation-3: -A typical hard drive is slightly larger than your hand, yet can hold over 100 GB of data. The data is stored on a stack of disks mounted inside a solid encasement. These disks spin extremely fast (typically at either 5400 or 7200 RPM) so that data can be accessed immediately from anywhere on the drive.
