I’m trying to understand this so I can get on with learning for school and buying my own PC components but I’m having a really hard time understanding why these are both the same but different. Please help.

RAM is high speed and volatile. You can write to it constantly but it doesn’t persist when it loses power.

SD cards are slower persistent storage built on different technology.
