Static memory is permanent storage that is retained even after the computer is turned off.RAM or Random Access Memory is volatile memory that is erased when the power goes off.

DVD Burners are the best burnable media right now, not only for their storage size, but for their speed. DVD's hold approximately 4.7 Gigabytes of information (that's 4.7 billion bytes if you're curious) which is about six times the information a CD can hold. There are also double sided DVD's which can hold twice as much.DVD's also read and burn at a rate of around 1352 KBs (kilobytes per second), while CD's burn at a default rate of 150 KBs, that's a little over 9 times faster.The way you get your actual speed is by multiplying the default rate by the number in front of the X. (example: with a 8x dvd burner, 8 times 1352 = 10816 Kbs, and on a 52x cd burner, 52 times 150 = 7800) DVD burners have...
