Something needed for computer drive (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ram

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'something needed for computer' is the first definition.
(random access memory)

'drive' is the second definition.
('ram' can be a synonym of 'drive')

(Other definitions for ram that I've seen before include "what comes after fish" , "barge" , "An animal; forcibly crash into" , "Crash into like male sheep" , "Aries is the Sign of the ..." .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
