Detailed explanation-1: -RAM is volatile memory used to hold instructions and data of currently running programs. It loses integrity after loss of power. RAM memory modules are installed into slots on the computer motherboard. ROM (Read-Only Memory) is nonvolatile: data stored in ROM maintains integrity after loss of power.
Detailed explanation-2: -Volatile Memory Vs Non-Volatile Memory Cache memory and RAM are types of Volatile memory. Non-volatile memory, on the other hand, is static. It remains in a computer even after a user switches it off. HDD and ROM are types of non-volatile memory.
Detailed explanation-3: -The most widely used form of primary storage today is a volatile form of random access memory (RAM), meaning that when the computer is shut down, anything contained in RAM is lost. However, most forms of non-volatile memory have limitations that make them unsuitable for use as primary storage.
Detailed explanation-4: -There are two types of NVRAM used for storage of a computer’s systems state: static random access memory (SRAM) and electrically erasable programmable read-only memory (EEPROM).
