Volatime means whatever you saved in your computer it saves your file, data as temporarly not as a permenantly.
Nonvolatile means to evaporate slowly.
Computer disks are not volatile. Only RAM is.
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM). Volatile memory is memory that disappears after you turn off your computer RAM is a big example of that because all the memory on RAM disappears after you turn off your computer. Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
What does Volatile mean: A volatile liquid evaporates faster because of it's low boiling point.
Volatile memory is temporary. Non-volatile is used for storing information after the the computer is shut down.
Working in RAM (Random Access Memory), while being fast, is classed as being volatile as all data is lost when the computer is switch off. So any data so easily lost is volatile unless saved to a hard drive of some kind.
Modern Computers have both volatile memory - RAM and non-volatile memory - Hard Disk
filesystem
Volatile storage.
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.
Yes, a hard disk is a non volatile storage medium. Non-volatile means that data is still there after you turn the computer off and back on.
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.
