Difference between static and dynamic RAM?

Answer Posted / deepak bhatt

# SRAM (static RAM). This type of memory maintains data in
storage as long as it is powered. Because it is faster and
more reliable and expensive than DRAM, SRAM is most often
used as cache memory. Earlier forms of SRAM were classified
as Async or Sync RAM if they were synchronized with the
system clock. The most common type of SRAM today is pipeline
burst SRAM, which can operate at higher bus speeds.

# DRAM (dynamic RAM). This type of RAM retains its data by
being continuously rewritten every few milliseconds. Like
SRAM, the data in storage is volatile, meaning it is lost
when the system is not powered. DRAM is the most common type
of expandable company memory in workstations and servers
today, but there are several different types of DRAM.
