Talk:Non-volatile memory

Table
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
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)

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to 2 one external links on Non-volatile memory. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add 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
 * Added archive https://web.archive.org/20070927221325/http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/5k160/5k160.htm to http://www.hitachigst.com/hdd/support/5k160/5k160.htm

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

 * ✅, the links work although I'm not sure what's with the one from eetimes.com. &mdash; Dsimic (talk &#124; contribs) 14:24, 5 February 2016 (UTC)

Misinformation
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). -http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/7120149/?arnumber=7120149 Please remove mechanical "storage devices" from "Non-volatile memory". They are two very different things. --Ne0 (talk) 13:07, 16 March 2017 (UTC)


 * 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)

Specifications section
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)
 * 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)
