non-volatile memory {non-volatile storage}
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
Non-Volatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM) {Static random access memory} which is made into {non-volatile storage} either by having a battery permanently connected or by saving its contents to {EEPROM} before turning the power off and reloading it when power is restored. (1995-04-22)
From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
non-volatile storage (NVS, persistent storage, memory) A term describing a storage device whose contents are preserved when its power is off. Storage using magnetic media (e.g. {magnetic disks}, {magnetic tape} or {bubble memory}) is normally non-volatile by nature whereas {semiconductor} memories ({static RAM} and especially {dynamic RAM}) are normally volatile but can be made into non-volatile storage by having a (rechargable) battery permanently connected. {Dynamic RAM} is particularly volatile since it looses its data, even if the power is still on, unless it is {refresh}ed. An acoustic {delay line} is a (very old) example of a volatile storage device. Other examples of non-volatile storage are {EEPROM}, {CD-ROM}, {paper tape} and {punched cards}. (2000-05-22)
