Table[edit]

I think there is a need for a table describing properties of memory types such as reading speed, writing speed, number of writes before getting worn out, advantages, disadvantages, produced unit densities, price per MB or GB etc.

Inaccuracies Section[edit]

Stating that the organic ferroelectrics provide characteristics anything remotely comparable to nonvolatile FeRAM is incorrect on many levels. I don't believe anyone is seriously contemplating this. It also hasn't been proven for anything approaching the far less stringent requirements of "flash" memory either. 4.35.70.203 (talk) 07:52, 3 December 2015 (UTC) Wikibearwithme (talk) 07:55, 3 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed these claims. ~Kvng (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 external links on Non-volatile memory. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20120119111746/http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218000269 to http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=218000269

Done, the links work although I'm not sure what's with the one from eetimes.com. — Dsimic (talk | contribs) 14:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Misinformation[edit]

The Source for the introduction to this article refutes the introduction to this article.

Non-volatile memory (NVM) devices, such as Flash, phase change RAM, spin transfer torque RAM, and resistive RAM,
offer several advantages and challenges when compared to
conventional memory technologies, such as DRAM and magnetic hard disk drives (HDDs).

Please remove mechanical "storage devices" from "Non-volatile memory". They are two very different things. --Ne0 (talk) 13:07, 16 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

The article does cover both non-volatile memory and non-volatile storage so we don't need to make these distinctions. ~Kvng (talk) 16:42, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Specifications section[edit]

Is this specification list appropriate for the article? I am confused that the article talks about non-volatile memory in a general sense only to find specific model information, outdated for 11 years (March 2007). FOR EXAMPLE: (Correct me if this is the incorrect interpretation) Aren't SSDs today of a significant higher capacity density than HDDs? Nuvigil (talk) 17:52, 11 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

It is more of a comparison than a specification. I think the idea is that the listed products are representative of their class. I think it is, in principle, appropriate content. I don't know if 11 year-old information is valuable in this field. ~Kvng (talk) 14:42, 14 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
