Ram RAM Your computer stores data in two places: long-term storage (including hard drives and CD-R/RWs) and short-term memory. Storage devices, such as hard drives, maintain data even when they're turned off; memory, on the other hand, holds onto its contents only when the the computer is on and functioning. RAM chips require power to maintain their content, which is why you must save y
