(1) Noun

Commonly referred to as RAM.  A high-speed component that temporarily stores all the information a device needs both right now and imminently. Accessing data in RAM is very fast, unlike hard drives that are slower but provide long-term, persistent storage.  

一般(いっぱん)にRAMと呼(よ)ばれます。デバイスが現在(げんざい)および差(さ)し迫(せま)って必要(ひつよう)とするすべての情報(じょうほう)を一時(いちじ)的(てき)に保存(ほぞん)する高速(こうそく)コンポーネント。 RAM内(ない)のデータへのアクセスは非常(ひじょう)に高速(こうそく)です。ハードドライブは低速(ていそく)ですが、長期間(ちょうきかん)の永続(えいぞく)的(てき)なストレージを提供(ていきょう)します。

Examples

  1. I just ordered a RAM upgrade from Crucial online. It's a DDR4 - 8 GB - SO-DIMM 260-pin - unbuffered memory card. It should be delivered Friday.
