Detailed explanation-5: -What are non-volatile storage examples? 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.
