What Does Static Random Access Memory (SRAM) Mean?
Static Random Access Memory (Static RAM or SRAM) is a type of RAM that holds data in a static form, that is, as long as the memory has power. Unlike dynamic RAM, it does not need to be refreshed.
Techopedia Explains Static Random Access Memory (SRAM)
There are two types of RAM: static random access memory (SRAM) and dynamic random access memory (DRAM). The main memory in a computer is dynamic RAM. All DRAM chips on Rambus in-line memory modules (RIMMs), single in-line memory module (SIMM’s) and dual in-line memory module (DIMMs) need to refresh every few milliseconds. (This is done by rewriting the data to the module.)
