Storage and memory are the two major holding areas for programs and data in a computer, tablet or smartphone, and their interplay is the fundamental architecture of computer processing.

Although all the following technologies have the word "memory" in their names, non-volatile memories are really storage chips (see storage vs. memory). For a blast from the past, see early memory.

AI is driving demand for DRAM and NAND. Products using non-volatile memories in embedded applications are growing.
