Volatile vs Non Volatile Quiz

What is the primary difference between volatile and non-volatile memory?

• Volatile memory retains data when power is off, non-volatile memory does not.

• Volatile memory loses data when power is off, non-volatile memory retains data.

• Volatile memory is slower than non-volatile memory.

• Volatile memory is used for long-term storage, non-volatile memory is used for short-term storage.

Which of the following is an example of volatile memory?

• Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

• Solid State Drive (SSD)

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Read-Only Memory (ROM)

Which of the following is an example of non-volatile memory?

• Cache Memory

• Random Access Memory (RAM)

• Hard Disk Drive (HDD)

• Dynamic RAM (DRAM)

Why is volatile memory typically used for temporary data storage?

• It is cheaper than non-volatile memory.

• It is faster than non-volatile memory.

• It is more durable than non-volatile memory.

• It consumes less power than non-volatile memory.

Which type of memory is typically used to store the operating system and application software?

• Volatile memory

• Non-volatile memory

• Both volatile and non-volatile memory

• Neither volatile nor non-volatile memory

What happens to the data stored in volatile memory when the computer is turned off?

• It is saved to a backup drive.

• It is transferred to non-volatile memory.

• It is lost.

• It is compressed and stored.

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of non-volatile memory?

• Retains data without power.

• Used for long-term storage.

• Loses data when power is off.

• Typically slower than volatile memory.

Flash memory is an example of which type of memory?
