What is the different between volatile and non volatile?
Volatile memory is temporary memory that is lost when then computer is shut off (RAM). Non-volatile is permanent memory that that holds its data even when the computer is shut off (ROM, NVRAM).

Non-Volatile memory is memory that even if you turn off your computer it will still be there. A huge example of that is hard drive memory. volatile= disappears after the computer is turned off Non-Volatile= never disappears.
