non-volatile storage
     
         nvs, persistent storage, memory a term describing
        a storage device whose contents are preserved when its power
        is off.  storage using magnetic media e.g. magnetic disks,
        magnetic tape or bubble memory is normally non-volatile
        by nature whereas semiconductor memories static ram and
        especially dynamic ram are normally volatile but can be
        made into non-volatile storage by having a rechargable
        battery permanently connected.
     
        dynamic ram is particularly volatile since it looses its
        data, even if the power is still on, unless it is refreshed.
        an acoustic delay line is a very old example of a volatile
        storage device.
     
        other examples of non-volatile storage are eeprom, cd-rom,
        paper tape and punched cards.
