Non-Volatile Memory (NVM)

Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is a type of computer storage that retains data even when the power is turned off. Unlike RAM, which loses data when the device is powered down, NVM preserves information permanently or until intentionally erased. Examples include SSDs, flash drives, and memory cards. It is essential for saving files, operating systems, and applications, providing persistent storage that ensures data remains accessible over time. NVM combines the speed of electronic access with long-term data retention, making it a critical component for modern computing devices and data storage solutions.
