Which volatile memory can be deleted?

When the machine is shut off all Volatile memory is gone for the most part.


What is meant by volatile and non-volatile memory?

non volatile memory is memory that doesn't wipe after the computer shuts down e.g: Flash memory.


What type of memory is considered volatile memory?

In computing the most common type of currently used volatile memory is random access (RAM). RAM volatility involves the loss of data upon power loss to the RAM modules.


Differentiate between volatile memory and non-volatile?

Non-volatile memory, nonvolatile memory, NVM or non-volatile storage, is computer memory that can retain the stored information even when not powered. Examples of non-volatile memory include read-only memory, flash memory, most types of magnetic computer storage devices (e.g. hard disks, floppy disk drives, and magnetic tape), optical disc drives, and early computer storage methods such as paper tape and punch cards.Non-volatile memory is typically used for the task of secondary storage, or long-term persistent storage. The most widely used form of primary storage today is a volatile form of random access memory (RAM), meaning that when the computer is shut down, anything contained in RAM is lost. Unfortunately, most forms of non-volatile memory have limitations that make them unsuitable for use as primary storage. Typically, non-volatile memory either costs more or performs worse than volatile random access memory.'''Volatile memory''', also known as '''volatile storage or primary storage device''', is [[computer memory]] that requires power to maintain the stored information, unlike [[non-volatile memory]] which does not require a maintained power supply.Most forms of modern [[random access memory]] are volatile storage, including [[dynamic random access memory]] and [[static random access memory]]. [[Content addressable memory]] and [[dual-ported RAM]] are usually implemented using volatile storage. Early volatile storage technologies include [[delay line memory]] and [[Williams tube]].RAM=Volatile memoryROM=NON-Volatile memory

Is RAM permanent or volatile?

It can be either depending on the type of RAM. Dynamic RAM (DRAM) requires constant refreshing and will lose its data if power is lost whereas Static RAM (SRAM) will retain its memory state. The majority of RAM in computers is DRAM and volatile. The most common form of non-volatile memory is flash, widely used for USB memory devices.


Is random RAM also volatile?

Yes, or at least Mostly Yes. RAM is random (RAM=Random Access Memory) and most forms of RAM today are volatile. But magnetic core memory (from the 1950s, now only available in museums) is not.
