Which of the following internal computing components typically provides the fastest data access for the CPU?
Hard disk drive (HDD)
Read-only memory (ROM)
Random-access memory (RAM)
Solid-state drive (SSD)
Random-access memory (RAM) is a type of volatile memory that functions as the computer's primary 'working' memory. It is designed for extremely high-speed, low-latency data access, allowing the CPU to retrieve and process data quickly. While solid-state drives (SSDs) are much faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), they are non-volatile storage devices and are significantly slower than RAM. Read-only memory (ROM) is primarily used for firmware and is not designed for the high-speed read/write operations that RAM performs.
