Originally Answered: What is stored in random access memory (RAM)? Random Access Memory is volatile. That means data is retained in RAM as long as the computer is on, but it is lost when the computer is turned off. When the computer is rebooted, the OS and other files are reloaded into RAM, usually from an HDD or SSD.

Explanation:
What type of memory is stored in RAM?
Dell Precision mobile workstations.
RAM is memory, or storage space. Since you’re a little confused on the terms, let me explain this as simply as I can.
Imagine that your computer is an industrial district in a city. Your CPU is a manufacturing plant. Your Hard Drive is a warehouse across town with all the materials you need to manufacture the goods. Your RAM is a much smaller storage space right next door. Imagine if you had to drive a truck to the warehouse across town on slow streets to get all the materials you need to manufacture something. Your plant would be idle a lot while waiting for the materials. Instead, when you start a project, you send a truck to get all the materials you’re going to need soon from the warehouse across town and you put it right next door for quick access. While you’re using those materials, the truck goes and gets whatever you’ll be needing again soon from across town and puts it in the storage next door, so your manufacturing plant stays busy.
Much like a manufacturing plant and warehousing, a CPU follows instructions of what to do with the materials in storage. The hard drive is slow storage, so if a CPU had to take information from the hard drive and put it back in the hard drive when it’s done, it would be waiting on the data transfer instead of working most of the time. When a program is loaded, all the information you need for that program is put in the RAM which the CPU can access a lot quicker. With more RAM, your CPU doesn’t have to communicate with the Hard Drive as much while running a program so it will stay busier since it has faster access to the data it needs. When you encounter a loading screen in a video game, part of what your computer is doing is removing data from the ram that you no longer need for the new area, and adding data from your hard drive to your RAM that it will need for the new area.
