In this paper, I explore the physics that makes some of the most important types of computer memory possible. First a basic computer science-level understanding of computer memory is established. Then I explain the physics background necessary to appreciate the design of various digital storage technologies. Finally, I examine four different memory technologies- SRAM, DRAM, magnetic disk drives, and flash memory- and describe how each is specifically suited to its role in modern computer systems
