Storage vs. Memory: What's the Difference?

Storage and memory might seem like the same concept on the surface, but they actually serve very different purposes. Watch to learn more about the differences between storage and memory.
Storage and memory do have some things in common -- like, for instance, holding data. But, the means but which they hold data and for how long are quite different. Storage holds all computer data, indefinitely and securely, until you delete it. Memory, on the other hand, is a more temporary storage space, loading applications from storage into RAM as they’re needed, and return them to storage when the computer shuts down.
To make matters more confusing, there are some new technologies in the works that will continue to blur, or even erase, the line between storage and memory.

Storage is like the closet housing all the clothes, and RAM is taking something from the closet when you want to wear it, and putting it back in place in the closet when you’re done

Awesome analogy 👏

Nice work....there are things that are in development, you say....I write this comment in July 2023, so is there any update on that comment? When was your video made?

[@EyeonTech]

Thanks for watching! This video is over three years old, so it's likely developments have been made in the effort to merge RAM and storage tech.
