SRAM

Static RAM STORES each bit of data on six metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors, or MOSFETs. SRAM is used in devices that require the fastest possible data access without requiring a high capacity. Some EXAMPLES are CPU caches and buses, hard DRIVE and router buffers and printers.

DRAM

Dynamic RAM stores data using a PAIRED transistor and capacitor for each bit of data. Capacitors constantly LEAK electricity, which requires the memory controller to refresh the DRAM several times a second to maintain the data.

DRAM

Dynamic RAM stores data using a paired transistor and capacitor for each bit of data. Capacitors constantly leak electricity, which requires the memory controller to refresh the DRAM several times a second to maintain the data.
