Non-volatile random-access memory
RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY THAT RETAINS ITS INFORMATION WHEN POWER IS TURNED OFF (NON-VOLATILE),IN CONTRAST TO DYNAMIC RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY (DRAM) AND STATIC RANDOM-ACCESS MEMORY (SRAM), WHICH BOTH MAINTAIN DATA ONLY FOR AS LONG AS POWER IS APPLIED

Non-volatile random-access memory (NVRAM) is random-access memory that retains data without applied power. This is in contrast to dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) and static random-access memory (SRAM), which both maintain data only for as long as power is applied, or forms of sequential-access memory such as magnetic tape, which cannot be randomly accessed but which retains data indefinitely without electric power.
