The technology that allows for the storage of data in a non-volatile state is known as flash memory or solid-state drives (SSDs). Unlike volatile memory such as RAM, which loses its information when powered off, flash memory retains data even without power. This technology is widely used in consumer electronics, such as smartphones and laptops, and in enterprise storage solutions due to its speed and durability. Flash memory's ability to provide rapid read and write access while maintaining data integrity makes it essential for modern computing and storage applications.
