RE: _____________ Memory is Volatile.

any memory component that loses data with the lose of power is called volatile.
So cache memory and main memory both are volatile as they lose data on power off.
next Random access is a method of accessing like sequential, associate etc., not a devise. Both RAM and ROM are Random access. difference is RAM is volatile where as ROM is non-volatile.
So the answer is Cache memory, Main memory usually RAM |
