Comment : | [delete "Static RAM" from the list of "example of nonvolatile memory" and replace with "Flash RAM"] Explanation: Unlike dynamic RAM (DRAM), static RAM (SRAM) retains its contents without periodic refresh cycles. However, both forms of RAM lose their contents when disconnected from power. Flash RAM is nonvolatile, and has replaced ROMs, EPROMs, and EEPROMs in many (most?) applications.
