What is the Difference between Memory and Data Storage?

Memory is one of the important components in a computer, and it is the bridge between external memory and the CPU. All programs in the computer run in memory, so the performance of memory has a great impact on the computer. Memory (Memory) is also called internal memory and main memory, and its function is to temporarily store the operational data in the CPU and data exchanged with external memories such as hard disks. As long as the computer is running, the CPU will transfer the data to be calculated into the memory for calculation. When the calculation is completed, the CPU will transfer the results. The operation of the memory also determines the stable operation of the computer. The memory module is composed of a memory chip, a circuit board, and a gold finger. [1]

There are three types of memory interfaces: DIP, SIMM, and DIMM (RDRAM adds RMM). The latter two are the contents we will focus on. [7]

Internal and external memory

This situation mainly occurs when describing the internally integrated data storage space of a mobile device. For example, a mobile phone has 8G of data storage space, many people describe it as "8G memory". In fact, this expression is wrong, because the so-called "8G memory" is an external memory. "Internal external memory" cannot be simply referred to as "memory," because memory is a specific concept and is short for internal memory. [1]

Memory card capacity

The capacity of a memory card should not be referred to simply as "memory" because it is also external memory. [1]
