Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) is a type of computer memory that holds the data even if power is turned off. Contrasting to NVM is Volatile Memory which needs to be periodically refreshed to hold the data. NVM is commonly used as secondary storage memory or long-term storage. NVM has lower performance and high cost which makes them unsuitable… Read More
