Correct option is C
An
SSD (Solid State Drive) is a type of
non-volatile memory, meaning it retains data even when the computer is powered off. Non-volatile memory, such as SSDs, is used for long-term data storage. Unlike volatile memory (e.g., RAM), non-volatile memory doesn't lose data when power is removed.
Important Key Points:
1.
Non-volatile memory retains data without power, making it ideal for long-term storage solutions like SSDs and hard drives.
2.
Volatile memory, such as RAM and cache, loses all stored data when the power is turned off.
Knowledge Booster:
·
RAM: A volatile memory used for temporary storage while the computer is running.
·
Cache: Another form of volatile memory used to store frequently accessed data for quick access.
·
Registers: Small, fast storage locations inside the CPU, also volatile.
·
CPU: Central Processing Unit, not a type of memory.
