The correct answer is Flash memory.
Key Points
- Flash memory is a type of memory that functions similarly to RAM and ROM.
- You can write data to flash memory just like you can to RAM, however, unlike ROM, the data isn't lost when the power is turned off. Read-only memory is referred to as ROM.
- Although the CPU can read from ROM, it cannot write to or modify it. ROM is a long-term storage medium.
- Random-access memory (RAM) refers to memory that the microprocessor can read from and write to. It's done in RAM when you construct something in memory.
Important Points
- The smallest and fastest memory in a computer is register memory.
- External memory, often known as secondary memory, refers to the numerous storage media that a computer might use to store data and applications.
- Cache memory, often known as cache, is a supplementary memory system that saves frequently used instructions and data in order for the central processing unit (CPU) of a computer to perform them more quickly.
