computer memory
Where data waits
Computer memory is the hardware that stores data and instructions for a computer to access.
RAM (random access memory) holds information temporarily while programs run; when you turn off the machine, it's gone.
Storage like hard drives and SSDs retains data permanently.
My laptop is slow because it's low on memory.
I need to clear some memory to install the update.
