Volatile storage is a category of computer storage. Unlike non-volatile storage, it requires power to retain data. Jump to: navigation, search This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ... Non-volatile storage is a category of computer storage. ...

Storage technologies in this category include delay line memory and most forms of RAM, including DRAM and SRAM. CAM and dual-ported RAM are usually implemented using volatile storage. Delay line memory was a form of computer memory used on some of the earliest digital computers, such as the EDSAC and UNIVAC I. The first such systems consisted of a column of mercury with piezo crystal transducers (a combination of speaker and microphone) at either end. ...
