Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The hard drive stores data on magnetic media, such as magnetic disks or platters, while RAM uses circuitry to temporarily hold data for quick access. Volatile memory, like RAM, loses its data when power is turned off, while non-volatile memory, like a magnetic hard drive, retains its data even when power is off. Solid-state drives use flash memory, which is a different technology than hard drives, and optical media, like CDs or DVDs, use lasers to read and write data.
