RAM and SSD are two types of computer memory that serve different purposes.

RAM stands for Random Access Memory and it is used to store data that is currently being used by the processor. SSD stands for Solid State Drive and it is used to store data that is not in use or that needs to be accessed quickly.

RAM is faster than SSD, but it is also volatile, meaning that it loses its data when the power is turned off. SSD is non-volatile, meaning that it retains its data even when the power is off. However, SSD is more expensive and has a limited number of write cycles.

Therefore, most computers use a combination of RAM and SSD to optimize performance and storage capacity.
