Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Data stored in RAM (Random Access Memory) is volatile, meaning it requires power to retain the stored information. Therefore, when the computer is powered down, data in the RAM is lost. The data stored on CD ROM, backup tape, and hard disk is non-volatile, meaning it can retain data even without power.
