易失性内存和非易失性内存的区别

易失性内存：
它是高速获取/存储数据的内存硬件。它也称为临时内存。易失性存储器中的数据会一直存储到系统能够存储为止，但是一旦系统关闭，易失性存储器中的数据就会自动删除。 RAM(随机存取存储器)和高速缓存存储器是易失性存储器的一些常见示例。在这里，数据获取/存储既快速又经济。

非易失性存储器：
它是一种即使断电也不会丢失数据或信息的存储器。 ROM(只读存储器)是非易失性存储器最常见的例子。与易失性存储器相比，它在获取/存储方面不经济且缓慢，但存储的数据量更大。所有需要长时间存储的信息都存储在非易失性存储器中。非易失性存储器对系统的存储容量有巨大影响。

以下是易失性和非易失性存储器之间的区别：

S.NO	Volatile Memory	Non-Volatile Memory
1.	Volatile memory is the type of memory in which data is lost as it is powered-off.	Non-volatile memory is the type of memory in which data remains stored even if it is powered-off.
2.	Contents of Volatile memory is stored temporarily.	Contents of Non-volatile memory is stored permanently.
3.	It is faster than non-volatile memory.	It is slower than volatile memory.
4.	RAM(Random Access Memory) is an example of volatile memory.	ROM(Read Only Memory) is an example of non-volatile memory.
5.	In volatile memory, data can be easily transferred in comparison to non-volatile memory.	In non-volatile memory, data can not be easily transferred in comparison to volatile memory.
6.	In Volatile memory, process can read and write.	In Non-volatile memory, process can only read.
7.	Volatile memory generally has less storage capacity.	Non-volatile memory generally has more storage capacity than volatile memory.
8.	In volatile memory, the program’s data are stored which are currently in process by the CPU.	In non-volatile memory, any kind of data which has to be saved permanently are stored.
9.	Volatile memory is more costly per unit size.	Non-volatile memory is less costly per unit size.
10.	Volatile memory has a huge impact on the system’s performance.	Non-volatile memory has a huge impact on a system’s storage capacity.
11.	In volatile memory, processor has direct access to data.	In non-volatile memory, processor has no direct access to data.
12.	Volatile memory chips are generally kept on the memory slot.	Non-volatile memory chips are embedded on the motherboard.
