- Dynamic RAM is made up of capacitors. The capacitor holds a high or low charge ( to represent 1 or 0)//Static RAM is made up of flip-flops
- The capacitors of DRAM leak electricity, so recharging is required to maintain the data stored//The flip-flops of SRAM holds the stored data continuously as long as the computer is powered on.
- SRAM provides shorter access time(SRAM is faster)//DRAM is slower
- SRAM is expensive//DRAM is inexpensive
- Usually SRAM is used to build cache and DRAM is used to build main memory//The norm is for cache memory to be provided by SRAM with the main memory being constructed from DRAM.
