Persistent Storage
Persistent storage is any data storage device that retains data after power to that device is shut
off. It is also sometimes referred to as non-volatile storage. Magnetic media, such as hard disk
drives and tape are common types of persistent storage, as are the various forms of optical
media such as DVD.
“Storage persistence” is usually a given, the very basic requirement of any storage system,
whether it refers to a single drive, a shared networked storage system or a cloud storage service.
“Persistence” is assumed, so it is not very common that it is mentioned as a technical specification
for storage devices and systems.
Solid-state drives are also examples of persistent storage, but they are different from the other
forms of persistent media in that they do not have any moving parts, either internally or with the
drives required to access the media.
Some types of solid state storage, for example the chips used for RAM and cache systems, are
typically non-persistent (Volatile) storage devices which means that the data they hold is erased
when continuous power stops. However, certain types such as non-volatile RAM and flash-based
RAM are persistent; typically, they rely on battery power when the main source of electricity is
disconnected. Because RAM holds active work, which was not saved to a disk drive or solid-state
drive, RAM persistence may prevent data loss in the event of a crash or reboot.
Of course, volatile or non-persistent storage resources have one advantage: since they lose all
their data when power is disconnected, they generally present less of security risk compared to
persistent storage equipment.
