Below are the elements included in the order of volatility for a typical computing system...

This order correctly reflects the volatility of data from most volatile (disappears quickly) to least volatile (most persistent):

Registers and processor cache: These contain the CPU's most immediate working data, changing rapidly.

Routing table, process table, kernel statistics, and memory (RAM): These hold system state information, but can be modified by running processes or events.

Temporary system files: Designed to be transient, but may persist for some time depending on usage patterns.

Disk or other storage media: Holds data intended to persist, but is subject to modification.

Remote logging and monitoring data related to the target system: Often stored off-site, less volatile than local data.

Physical configuration and network topology: Relatively static information about the system's setup.

Archival media: Designed for long-term storage, changes to this data are intentional and infrequent.
