What is the difference between volatile and non-volatile memory? Give examples of each.
Volatile memory, such as Random Access Memory (RAM), requires power to retain data. When the system is turned off, all information in volatile memory is lost. It’s used for temporary storage while a computer is running.
Non-volatile memory, like Read-Only Memory (ROM) or Solid State Drives (SSD), retains data even when power is removed. This type of memory is utilized for long-term persistent storage.
