What Is the Function of RAM in a Computer?
A computer's Random Access Memory stores data for short-term use. RAM works in conjunction with the hard drive, which takes care of long-term storage, to provide quick access to files that the computer is actively reading or writing. Unlike hard drive memory, however, program data stored in RAM is erased when you reboot the computer or when another program needs the space for its own use.
Basic Purpose
Reading Files
Hard drives can store vast numbers of files, but compared to other computer components, drives run very slowly. Accessing hard drive files -- especially when those files are scattered across the drive due to -- requires the drive to move its mechanical read/write head back and forth and to wait for the spinning platters to spin into the correct position. Even though drives spin at thousands of rotations per minute, this process causes a noticeable delay when reading files.
To lessen the slowdown, computers store files in RAM after the files are first read from the drive. RAM has no moving parts (and runs at a higher speed than even a ) so the files can load very quickly during subsequent uses.
Temporary Storage
In addition to storing files read from the hard drive, RAM also stores data that programs are actively using but that doesn't need to be saved permanently. By keeping this data in RAM, programs can work with it quickly, improving speed and responsiveness.

Random-access memory (RAM) is a type of computer data storage. A RAM device makes it possible to access data in random order, which makes it very fast to find a specific piece of information. Certain other types of storage are not random-access. For example, a hard disk drive and a CD will read and write data in a predetermined order. The mechanical design of these devices prescribes that data access is consecutive. This means that the time it takes to find a specific piece of information can vary greatly depending on where it is located on the disk.

RAM devices are used in computer systems as the main memory. RAM is considered volatile memory, which means that the stored information is lost when there is no power. So, RAM is used by the central processing unit (CPU) when a computer is running to store information that it needs to be used very quickly, but it does not store any information permanently.

RAM (random access memory) is the place in a computing device where the operating system (OS), application programs and data in current use are kept so they can be quickly reached by the device's processor. ... Data remains in RAM as long as the computer is running. When the computer is turned off, RAM loses its data.
