Read-only memory (ROM) is a type of memory that computers and other devices use to store things permanently. This also means the memory stored on a Read-only memory device is unable to be modified after the manufacture of the device. Red-only memory is also non-volatile, meaning it keeps the data that was stored even after you have powered off your device.
Random access memory (RAM) is a volatile form of memory that computers use. It’s used to help different applications on your computer run quickly and efficiently. Since random access memory is volatile, it does not store anything that was saved on it after the computer has been powered off.
I think the clear difference between read-only memory (ROM) and random access memory (RAM) is the idea that one can store the data that has been saved, and one only stores data for as long as the system and device are running.
