ROM
Flash Memory
Random Access Memory
(RAM) allows data to be
read from or written to at
the same rate regardless of
the physical location of data
inside the memory.
Read-Only Memory (ROM)
retains data permanently,
even when the system
power is turned off, and is
commonly used for
firmware.
Flash memory is nonvolatile and can be
electrically erased and
reprogrammed, making it
suitable for use in portable
and stationary memory
storage.
