Persistent Solid-State Storage
Solid state drives are the examples of permanent storage. Solid state drives differ from other types of Persistent media. The chips that are used for cache devices and RAM are types of solid state storage, these means that the information is deleted once the power is off. Some type of storage such as flashed based RAM and non volatile RAM are persistent in nature because once the primary source of energy is cut of they makes use of the battery power. The disadvantage of non persistent storage resources is loss of data and even offers less security as compared to persistent storage.
What is Persistent Storage?
Any data storage system that keeps data after its power is turned off is said to be using persistent storage. It’s also known as nonvolatile storage at times. Persistent storage in the context of containerization refers to storage volumes that are accessible after a container has stopped running. These volumes are typically connected to stateful applications like databases. Ephemeral storage volumes, which are linked to stateless apps that live and die with containers, can be contrasted with persistent storage volumes.
