'''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|sequential-access memory]] such as [[magnetic tape]], which cannot be randomly accessed but which retains data indefinitely without electric power.
