Class 3 Computer Worksheet: RAM and Storage
Remember (Working desk or cupboard?): RAM: fast, temporary working memory; it loses data when the power is off. Storage (hard disk, solid-state drive, pen drive, memory card): keeps saved files even when off. Save your work so it goes from RAM into storage; cloud storage keeps files online.
