Server memory plays a crucial role in processing data from hard disk drives or solid-state drives to the CPU. It also incorporates RAM (Random Access Memory). RAM is volatile, meaning it retains data only when powered and isn't a permanent storage option. Despite this, RAM's read and write speeds far exceed those of storage memory by several times. Direct access to server RAM by the CPU eliminates the need to search the hard drive for data or instructions. Additionally, server memory generates less heat and exhibits greater resistance to wear over time.
