Short for static random access memory, SRAM is computer memory that requires a constant power flow to hold information. Power consumption varies widely based on how frequently the memory is accessed. Although quicker than DRAM, SRAM is more expensive and holds less data per unit volume. Therefore, it is more commonly used in cache and video card memory only.
