Volatile=Unplug power source, loose data. Non-volatile=Data stays without power source.
1. What is the difference in volatile and nonvolatile memory?
Non-volatile. It retains its memory even if power is removed.
Volatile memory is temporary. Non-volatile is used for storing information after the the computer is shut down.
Volatile memory loses its stored data when power is lost, while nonvolatile memory retains its stored data even without power. Examples of volatile memory include RAM, while nonvolatile memory includes hard drives and SSDs.
Modern Computers have both volatile memory - RAM and non-volatile memory - Hard Disk
yes, and nonvolatile does not
Non-volatile memory can retain its contents through a loss of power, assuming the shutdown was properly performed.
Nonvolatile memory retains data even when power is cut off, like in ROM chips. Nonvolatile storage devices can be slower than volatile ones as they often use technologies such as flash memory. This type of memory is commonly used in devices like USB drives and solid-state drives.
A flash memory chip is a close relative to EEPROM, it differs in that it can erase one block or page at a time. Therefore flash memory is a non volatile memory.
Volatile memory refers to memory that loses its state upon losing power. Computer RAM is volatile. Compare to nonvolatile memory (Hard disk drives, USB NAND flash storage devices, CD and DVD optical media, floppy media)
There is no non-volatile RAM, because a hard-drive is what is nonvolatile, because it retains its memory even after there is no power to the computer. RAM is volatile, because when there is no power all data that was stored in the RAM is lost.
