Presently, computers rely on various memory types, each with its own set of advantages and limitations. Random Access Memory (RAM) provides rapid access to data but is volatile, meaning it loses its contents when the power is off. Flash memory offers non-volatile storage but suffers from limited endurance and slower speeds compared to RAM. Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) offer large storage capacities but are slower and prone to mechanical failures.
