ROM- A Non-Volatile source that keeps it's files. It is not editable.]]> 2019-01-30 13:32:01 UTC https://padlet.com/16nmeakin/cw3ub59tqrsp/wish/325818436 Volatile vs Non Volatile 16lstandring https://padlet.com/16nmeakin/cw3ub59tqrsp/wish/325819907  
volatile memory (like RAM) loses all of the data it stores when the computer is turned off
non-volatile memory (like a hard drive) does not use the data when the computer is turned off.

However, this causes latency because the hard drive is slow
