The RAM needed to save files and install programs is provided by a storage device. In contrast to random-access memory (RAM), the data stored on a storage device is stored in non-volatile memory, which means that it remains in the device's memory bank long after the computer has been turned off (unless it has been deliberately erased or uninstalled).
Hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SDDs) are the two most prevalent internal storage device types found in PCs. While SDDs are more costly and superior to HDDs, HDDs are the less expensive option but have slower transfer speeds. Dedicated SATA cables are used to connect these devices to your computer; for large servers and workstations, SAS connections are used instead.There are also auxiliary storage devices, like portable HDDs and USB flash drives. Nevertheless, computers do not come with these devices installed. Depending on the specifications, they are instead connected to the PC by other channels, such as external disk drives or USB connections.
Start-up apps like Microsoft Word and Google Chrome are loaded straight from your HDD or SDD, despite the fact that storage devices have no effect on how your computer boots up. Therefore, the entire process may be interrupted by a broken storage device, which could ruin your contents. If this is the case, you will have to replace your hard drive right away, which can occasionally necessitate a hassle-some system reformat or Windows reinstall.
