Detailed explanation-1: -The most common example of non-volatile memory is ROM (Read Only Memory). Non-volatile memory affects a system’s capacity to a large extent. It is a type of digital memory that does not lose any content with an interruption of the power supply. One does not need to refresh it periodically.
Detailed explanation-2: -Because ROM is read-only, it cannot be changed; it is permanent and non-volatile, meaning it also holds its memory even when power is removed. By contrast, random access memory (RAM) is volatile; it is lost when power is removed. The use of the similar term “non-volatile memory” is applicable here (more on that later.)
Detailed explanation-3: -NVRAM (non-volatile random-access memory) refers to computer memory that can hold data even when power to the memory chips has been turned off. NVRAM is a subset of the larger category of non-volatile memory (NVM), which includes storage-class memory based on NAND flash.
Detailed explanation-4: -ROM is non-volatile memory that permanently stores instructions for your computer.
