MEMORY USAGE

[1] Memory Usage is an essential factor for server speed. For a website to run as fast and smoothly as
possible, it needs sufficient RAM. Higher memory usage means a more significant portion of the
available RAM is actively being used. By contrast, lower memory usage will generally correlate with a
faster site speed.

[2] The concept of memory and storage can be easily conflated as the same concept; however, there are
some distinct and important differences. Put succinctly, memory is primary memory, while storage is
secondary memory. Memory refers to the location of short-term data, while storage refers to the
location of data stored on a long-term basis.
The term storage refers to secondary memory and is where data in a computer is kept. An example of
storage is a hard drive or a hard disk drive (HDD). Storage is nonvolatile, meaning the information is
still there after the computer is turned off and then back on. A running program may be in a computer's
primary memory when in use -- for fast retrieval of information -- but when that program is closed, it
resides in secondary memory or storage.

[3] When a program is open, it is loaded from secondary memory to primary memory. Because there
are different types of memory and storage, an example of this could be a program being moved from a
solid-state drive (SSD) to RAM. Because primary storage is accessed faster, the opened program will
be able to communicate with the computer's processor at quicker speeds. The primary memory can be
accessed immediately from temporary memory slots or other storage locations.

[4] There are multiple types of memory available to a computer. It will operate differently depending
on the type of primary memory used. In general, memory can be divided into primary and secondary
memory; moreover, there are numerous types of memory when discussing just primary memory. Some
types of primary memory include the following.
Memory is the electronic holding place for the instructions and data a computer needs to reach quickly.
It's where information is stored for immediate use. Memory is one of the basic functions of a computer,
because without it, a computer would not be able to function properly.

Let’s Summarize
1.The storage area where the data is stored in the computer is called its memory.
2. Two types of memories are primary memory and Secondary memory.
3. Primary memory is of two types ,i.e.,RAM and ROM.
4. Random Access memory is volatile memory.
5. Secondary storage device is used to store the information permanently for extended period of
time.
6. Storage capacity of a hard disc is much larger than a compact disc.
7. CD,DVD and Blu-ray disc are the optical storage devices.
