Memory whose contents are lost when the power is switched off.
Memory which loses its data when power is removed. The RAM memory in a sampler is volatile, the data on the hard disk is non-volatile.
A computer storage medium which is incapable of retaining information without continuous power dissipation.
Memory that requires power to hold data, when power is removed, volatile memory loses its data.
Memory that loses its contents when the power is turned off. A computer's main memory, made up of dynamic RAM or static RAM chips, loses its content immediately upon loss of power. Contrast ROM, which is non-volatile memory.
Temporary computer memory that is purged or lost when the computer is turned off.
Memory that does not retain data when power is interrupted to the computer. Return to .
memory devices that lose the stored data when power is removed.
See processing memory.
A memory device (e.g., RAM ) that does not retain stored information when power is switched off.
Computer memory that will be lost when the computer is turned off.
a Type of memory that loses its contents when the power is turned off. Computer RAM is typically volatile memory
Memory that may not retain data written to it for a subsequent read operation through a power-on condition. An example of this is a silicon memory device that loses data written to it if device power is lost.
Digitized information stored in a computer or microprocessor that remains only as long as there is electrical power.
A memory device that does not retain stored information when power is interrupted. See non-volatile memory.
Memory such as traditional semiconductor memory which loses data when the electrical power is switched off.
Refers to data storage that does not retain information if power to it is interupted for an elongated period of time.
A storage medium that loses all data when power is removed.
Memory that loses its contents when the computer's power is turned off; includes RAM and cache. 4.16, 7.3 Volume Business ASP, 3.36
Memory requiring electrical power to keep information stored.
(n.) Compare with nonvolatile memory.
Volatile memory, poletic volatile storage, is computer memory that requires power to maintain the stored information, unlike non-volatile memory which does not require a maintained power supply.
