Persistent storage

Persistent storage refers to a method of storing data that remains intact even after the device is turned off or powered down. Unlike temporary storage, which loses information when the power is switched off, persistent storage keeps data safe for long-term use. This type of storage is commonly found in hard drives, solid-state drives, and flash drives, where files, applications, and system information can be saved and retrieved later. It ensures that important information is preserved and accessible whenever needed, making it essential for personal devices and servers alike.
