मेमोरी, स्मृति


Explanation:
1) My personal preference is transliteration.

2) Someone in Microsoft translated this as "Smriti" and this became standard for them. Now, Microsoft uses "smriti" for this and this is the word I most dislike in MS's Hindi translations. Just imagine going to Nehru place and asking,"Bhaiya, aapke paas 256 MB ki smriti hogi kya?" !!!

neutral  Anil Goyal: Well, you are ignoring the context, asker has mentioned that "as memory in a computer/mobile phone". Probably you should review your suggestion in this context.

मेमोरी- स्मृति धì


Explanation:
although I am agree with other respected colleagues that transliteration is the best way for modern technology, but still there is some synonims in Hindi. Like this :
memory of a computer= computaar kee smriti dhaaraN kshamataa= कम्पूटर की स्मृति धारण क्षमता
mamory of a mobile phone= mobile phone kee smriti dhaaraN kshamataa= मोबाइल फोन की स्मृति धारण क्षमता
