What is the difference between flash storage and memory? Are these two are same?
There is some difference between flash storage and memory. Flash memory is a memory used as the hard drive for the PCs that store the entire data even when there is no power available. There are many different variants of the Flash Memory that have been made with the advanced technologies. Micro SD cards, flash disks and external hard drives are some of the living examples of the different varieties of Flash Memory.
On the other hand, memory referred to Random Access Memory or RAM. During power, it is the main memory of the computer. It is used by the PC to run various applications and allocating memory to each application. It lets the user of the PC, navigate throughout the system effortlessly.
As far as the differences are concerned, I am mentioning them below, just take a look:
- RAM is expensive, while Flash Memory is affordable.
- RAM needs the power to store the data, while Flash Memory does not require power for data storage.
- RAM has not been capable of developing greater sizes. Presently, PCs have RAMs of as low as 1 and as high as 10 of the 10GB of space. On the other hand, Flash Memory has improved a lot in the last few years.
So these are enough points to define the difference between memory and flash storage.
