What does Volatile and Non-Volatile Memory actually mean?
Volatile Vs Non-Volatile Memory
Despite both Volatile & Non-Volatile memory are related to each other and are from the same background, there are many differences between these terminologies that might get confusing to many individuals who are new to Information Technology. Adding to that, the architectures that they use turned out to be different. Therefore, they both have some key differences to consider that are equally important. So, in this blog, I will be elaborating on the main differences between them.
In computing, memory refers to the devices which are used to store various data and information. The term primary memory is used for high-speed functioning (i.e. RAM), with storage systems as a difference from secondary memory. Generally, secondary memory has a slower accessing program and data storage but comprises of higher memory capacity. Furthermore, using a memory storage technique called “virtual memory,” the main memories can be stored in secondary memory when appropriate.
