Question

The difference between semiconductor memory and auxiliary storage devices is that
Options
A auxiliary storage devices are faster and less expensive while semiconductor memory are opposite
B auxiliary storage devices are slower and less expensive while semiconductor memory are opposite
C semiconductor memory are slower, volatile and more expensive while Auxiliary storage are opposite
D semiconductor memory are faster, volatile and more expensive while Auxiliary storage are opposite
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Semiconductor memory (RAM, cache) is fast, volatile (loses data when power off), and more expensive per byte. Auxiliary storage (HDD, SSD) is slower, non-volatile, and cheaper per byte for large capacities.

Hint

Think RAM vs. Hard Drive.
