Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Nonvolatile storage is designed to retain data even when the power is turned off, such as solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash drives, and magnetic hard drives. Volatile storage, on the other hand, loses its data when the power is turned off, such as random-access memory (RAM). Sequential storage and direct storage are not related to the question of whether data retention persists after power-off.
