Definition: refers to the computerhardware devices used to store information for immediate use in a computer; it is synonomous with the term "primary storage"

Examples(4):

RAM: RAM (pronounced ramm) is an acronym for random accessmemory, a type of computer memory that can be accesed randomly; that is, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computers and other devices, such as printers.

ROM: Stands for Read only Memory, integrated that stores instructions and data circuit permanently

HardDrive: In computing, a hard disk or hard drive is a data storage device that uses nonvolatile magnetic recording system for storing digital data

Volatile memory: is computer storage that only maintains its data while the device is powered.
