What is the difference between memory and hard disk space?
Absolutely legitimate question about the difference between main memory and hard disk space!
Storage and hard disk space both refer to the internal storage space in a computer (notebook, laptop, Surface, ...). Each is used for a different purpose.
The term "memory" / "main memory" usually comes from RAM (Random Access Memory); RAM is the hardware that allows the computer to efficiently perform more than one task at the same time (multi-tasking).
The term "disk space" usually refers to hard disk space. Hard disk space is typically used for long-term storage of various types of files. Higher capacity hard drives can store larger quantities and sizes of files such as videos, music, pictures, and documents.
There is also what is known as "virtual memory" This is the hard disk space that acts as RAM. It helps the computer multitask when there is not enough RAM for the tasks.
Computers also contain a small amount of read-only memory (ROM) with permanent instructions on how to check the hardware and to start the computer. On a PC this is called BIOS .
