Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Non-volatile ____
A
Retains any stored data when there’s no power
B
Loses any stored data when there’s no power
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Nonvolatile storage is physical media that retains data without electrical power. This means that no data is lost when the computer is powered off, making hard disks suitable for permanent storage of information.

Detailed explanation-2: -Nonvolatile memory is the memory that can keep the information even when it is powered off. In other words, nonvolatile memory requires power while storing the data; however, once the data is stored, the nonvolatile memory technologies do not require power to maintain the data stored.

Detailed explanation-3: -Non-volatile memory (NVM) or non-volatile storage is a type of computer memory that can retain stored information even after power is removed. In contrast, volatile memory needs constant power in order to retain data.

Detailed explanation-4: -Non-volatile memory (NVM) is a type of computer memory that has the capability to hold saved data even if the power is turned off. Unlike volatile memory, NVM does not require its memory data to be periodically refreshed. It is commonly used for secondary storage or long-term consistent storage.

Detailed explanation-5: -Three common examples of NVS devices that persistently store data are tape drives, HDDs and SSDs. The term non-volatile storage also applies to the semiconductor chips that store data or controller program code within devices such as SSDs, HDDs, tape drives and memory modules.
