Basically, the non-volatile memories are the memories that can preserve their memory even if there is no electricity transported to it. Non-volatile memory is important, because it allowed transportation of information and data without network connection or cables. Some good examples of the non-volatile momory is the followings; flash drive, HDD (Hard Disk Drive), ROM (Read Only Memory), floppy disk, and optical disk. But the bad thing about this is that this is usually more expensive than volatile RAM (Random Access Memory), or performs much slower actions than volatile RAM. To fix this disadvantages of non-volatile memories, several companies are working on improving non-volatile memory. For example. IBM is currently developing MRAM (Magnetoresistive RAM), which is cheaper and faster. These new technologies to take non-volatile memory's place not only save energy, but also start and turn off computer in a faster speed.
