9.7.1 Random Access Memory
Executing programs use RAM to store data. Data stored in RAM is lost upon a reset.
The operating system manages how applications use RAM. It only allows applications and component processes
and services to use RAM when required. It may cache recently used processes in RAM, so they restart more quickly
when opened again, but it will erase the cache if it needs the RAM for new activities.

9.7.2 On-Device Storage
The MC40 has internal On-device Storage. The On-device Storage content can be viewed and files copied to
and from when the MC40 is connected to a host computer. Some applications are designed to be stored on the
On-device Storage rather than in internal memory.
