Random access memory. Random access memory (RAM) is used as the working memory of a computer system. It stores input data, intermediate results, programs, and other information temporarily. ... It is usually volatile, which means that all data will be lost when the power is turned off.

RAM is both used for temporary storage, and from a technical perspective it is only capable of temporary storage. The hard drive is capable of storing information after the computer turns off, but RAM is not. Once your computer turns off, any data that was in your RAM sticks is lost.
