  2. EPROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eprom

    An EPROM (rarely EROM), or erasable programmable read-only memory, is a type of programmable read-only memory (PROM) chip that retains its data when its power supply is switched off. Computer memory that can retrieve stored data after a power supply has been turned off and back on is called non-volatile .

  3. EEPROM - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EEPROM

    Flash memory is a type of EEPROM designed for high speed and high density, at the expense of large erase blocks (typically 512 bytes or larger) and limited number of write cycles (often 10,000). There is no clear boundary dividing the two, but the term "EEPROM" is generally used to describe non-volatile memory with small erase blocks (as small ...

  4. Upgrade - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upgrade

    Upgrading is the process of replacing a product with a newer version of the same product. In computing and consumer electronics , an upgrade is generally a replacement of hardware , software or firmware with a newer or better version, in order to bring the system up to date or to improve its characteristics.

  6. Nonvolatile BIOS memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nonvolatile_BIOS_memory

    Nonvolatile BIOS memory refers to a small memory on PC motherboards that is used to store BIOS settings. It is traditionally called CMOS RAM because it uses a volatile, low-power complementary metal–oxide–semiconductor (CMOS) SRAM (such as the Motorola MC146818 [1] or similar) powered by a small battery when system and standby power is off. [2]

  7. Solid-state storage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_storage

    RAM drive – a block of random-access memory that the operating system treats as if it were secondary storage; Sequential access memory – a class of data storage devices that read stored data in a sequence; Wear leveling – a technique for prolonging the service life of some kinds of erasable computer storage media, such as flash memory

  8. Semiconductor memory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_memory

    The two main types of random-access memory (RAM) are static RAM (SRAM), which uses several transistors per memory cell, and dynamic RAM (DRAM), which uses a transistor and a MOS capacitor per cell. Non-volatile memory (such as EPROM, EEPROM and flash memory) uses floating-gate memory cells, which consist of a single floating-gate transistor per ...
