While every component in a PC has a role to play, today, we are talking about RAM and Hard Drive. While RAM is often termed as Memory, Hard Drive is termed as Storage – and even with words apart, it ...

In the early days of computing, the difference between RAM and ROM was very clear. Random access memory (RAM) was designed to hold data while the computer was turned on and to lose it when the power ...

The ascension of flash storage to mainstream datacentre technology status has brought with it questions about where and how exactly it can be used – and one of the big questions that comes up is over ...

The history of storage devices is quite literally a race between the medium and the computing power as the bottleneck of preserving billions of ones and zeros stands in the way of computing nirvana.

John Sontag has seen the future—or at least Hewlett-Packard’s version of it. Sontag, vice president and director of Systems Research at HP Labs, has been in charge of the team developing “The Machine, ...

Throughout the history of computers, one aspect has plagued and restricted its growth more than any other: permanent storage. From the very first computers that used punched cards and tape for input ...

We'll see more change in the next decade than we've ever seen before in computer data storage. Here's what's coming. Each choice involves different levels of investment, which usually precludes the ...

Cambridge scientists have developed a new prototype for computer memory that could make for faster chips that could hold up to 100 times more data. The system is made up of barium bridges between ...
