Persistent Data Storage

Persistent data storage refers to saving information in a way that it remains available even after a device is turned off or restarted. Unlike temporary storage, such as RAM, which loses data when power is lost, persistent storage ensures your data—like documents, photos, or software settings—is securely saved for future use. Common examples include hard drives, SSDs, or cloud storage. It's essential for reliably keeping data intact over time, allowing users to access, modify, and retrieve their information whenever needed, regardless of device activity or power cycles.
