Volatile memory is purged and data stored is lost when the computer is shut down. It is immediate and temporary memory and requires constant power to remain viable as it loses information when not powered. Most forms of RAM belong to this category.

Other forms of nonvolatile memory include SmartMedia cards and CompactFlash.
