Computer memory stores information as a binary representation (1/0) so the smallest unit of storage is the single "bit". However, when talking about storage people find it more useful to use the term "Byte" which is a unit of 8 bits.
When talking about volumes of storage the convention is to then prefix the word "Byte" with the SI, metric nomenclature denoting magnitudes.
Kilo (1000) (kB)
Mega (1000000) (MB)
Giga (1000000000) (GB)
Tera (1000000000000) (TB)
Peta (1000000000000000) (PB)
Exa (1000000000000000000) (XB)
Zetta (1000000000000000000000) (ZB)
Yotta (1000000000000000000000000) (YB)

What characteristic of RAM memory makes it not suitable for permanent storage?
It could be used for storage. But that wouldn't make sense, since that space is dedicated to your operating systems memory... VMWare uses regular storage space as memory for all its Virtual Machines, 1 TB could equal 8 GB of Ram, and 992 GB of Storage, for example. Hope this helps.

Gigabyte. its the measurement of the memory size of a storage device :)
What is the typical unit used to measure RAM memory and storage memory?

Why is my phone saying i have no space when i do?
All phones require a certain amount of storage to keep the phone's memory intact. If it is something ridiculous however (like 16 total GB of storage and you have used 10 GB), then I would go in and get your phone checked out.

What has more memory- 0.99 gb of ram or 512 MB ram?
Many people mistake storage space for memory. Storage space is usually on a hard drive and can be very large. It is measured in terabytes and gigabytes. 1000 gigabytes equals 1 terabyte. Memory is use by a computer to run programs and the operating system for the computer itself. This type of memory is usually called RAM or Random Access Memory. They are usually measured in gigabytes and megabytes. 1000 megabytes equals a gigabyte. Make sure you are comparing the correct type of "memory." Is it for storage or for running the computer? To take your question at face value, 0.99 gigabytes is much larger than 512 megabytes. 0.99 gb = 990000 mb, so 512 mb would be very small.

Uses Of A Memory Card And Flash Drive?
Memory cards and flash drives are a lot alike, but can also be very different. Both are made for storing documents, photos, music, etc. However, memory cards are just what they're called, little cards that are often stored inside of a device, such as a camera, mobile phone, and music players. Flash drives use USB ports to connect to devices with USB connectivity, such as a computer, to transfer information from one device to another. Memory cards come in many different sizes both physically and storage-wise. Some memory cards have a little bit of memory, such as a 512 MB (megabyte) memory card, and others have larger amounts, like a 32 GB (gigabyte) memory card. 1024 MB = 1 GB, so a 512 MB card is only half of one gigabyte, for size comparison. Depending on how much memory you need for storage on your device is what you should base the size of memory card you are looking to purchase. 2 GB of storage can usually store about 500 average-length songs and about 800 five megapixel camera pictures. If you need more music or picture storage then that, you probably want a bigger storage card. Memory cards are essential for being able to consistently store information on devices that don't have much internal storage. Flash drives are good for transferring files off of your memory card to a computer or other USB-enabled device. Flash drives, much like memory cards, also vary in the amounts of storage they can hold. They are also often measured in gigabytes, so it will be fairly easy to figure out what amount you need in order to store everything if you add up all the storage you need to combine. For instance, if you have a 16 GB micro SD memory card for your music, and 4 GB memory card for your camera, you probably need a memory card that has higher than 20 GB of storage on it. Memory cards and flash drives work very well together and are handy to have when you're on the go, or just need to transfer your files a lot. Finding the right size for you is important if you don't want to waste a lot of money buying a bunch of smaller sized storage cards in order to amount to the size of storage you really need.
