Does ssd consume ram?

While they're made with memory chips, they aren't RAM. SSDs use a different type of memory, can't be directly accessed by your computer's processor, and are much slower than RAM. They can, however, make an even bigger difference in your computer's performance than adding RAM though.

Which is better ssd or 8gb ram?
Both RAM and SSD can improve the performance of your computer. But actually, RAM is orders of magnitude faster than an SSD. In theory, the transfer speed of an SSD can be up to about 6Gbps (equivalent to 750 MB/s) which is from the SATA interface.

Does ssd affect ram speed?
The theoretical maximum speed of RAM is in its PC number, so a module of PC3-12800 memory can transfer 12,800MB/sec--roughly 30 times faster than the real world performance of an SSD. Directly substituting an SSD for RAM would end up significantly slowing down your system.

Is 8gb ram and 256 gb ssd enough for sims 4?
256 GB is plenty for Sims 4, your saves and other content, and a few small apps like browsers, but it might not be enough if you also want to store large collections of data (photos, music, etc.) on the laptop.

Will ssd replace ram?
If SSD was used like RAM it would die very quickly. While SSD's have a much lower latency and higher speed then hard drives, they are still much, much slower then RAM. Most SSDs are not random access, but block structured, like disks. You can't read or write one byte, you have to use a whole block.
