it means that the memory cannot be earased
RAM is a volatile Memory. But ROM is not volatile.
Assuming you mean 'volatile' - RAM is volatile... When you turn the power off - RAM loses its contents. Non-volatile RAM is able to retain its contents even when the machine is turned off.
Read Only Memory (ROM) is non-volatile. Basically, the computer manufacturer write coding onto the ROM chip that will start up the computer, but which the user is not expected to interfere with.The volatile memory is the Random-access memory (RAM), which is wiped clean on shut down unless the data is first saved to the hard drive, etc.
RAM is volatile - meaning that whenever power is taken away from it it is wiped. ROM is non volatile - meaning that the data is always kept there whether there is power is there or not. BOOT files which is basic machine code and is needed to boot up the computer to give the first BIOS (basic input output system) is kept on ROM because it is always kept there. If it was kept on RAM then it would be wiped everytime you turn the power off which would mean it would work.
The Random Access Memory (RAM) chip is volatile, and any data not saved to the hard drive will be lost on switching off the computer.
RAM is considered volatile memory because it loses data rapidly and has to be constantly refreshed. It also losses all its data once it loses power. Refference: Comptia A+ Seventh edition
Computer disks are not volatile. Only RAM is.
Random Access Memory on any computer only works when the computer is running. No computer running means no data in RAM.Also: RAM is volatile storage because it can onlyhold information if an electric charge is not running through it, which makes it unstable. This is why they call it "volatile." As soon as the power in the computer is shut off, whatever was in the RAM will be wiped out. The hard drive would be an example of non-volatile memory, because it will hold information written to it even when the computer loses power.
RAM = Random Access Memory. The memory used in a computer to hold programs and data while it is running. This memory is said to be 'volatile' because when the computer is switched off and there is no power available to the memory all the stored information is lost. With 'non-volatile memory' (such as used in a USB memory stick) when the power is removed the data remains as it was and can be accessed again when power is restored.
RAM is volatile or temporary
