Talk:Computer memory#Proposed merge of Data in use into Computer memory

Is Flash ROM, i.e. Flash memory, categorized to NVRAM? I think it is a kind of ROM, as it is named. In addition, current SSD (Solid State Drives) use NAND gate type Flash ROM, associated with a controller and some buffer RAMs. It is also not a NVRAM but a ROM, to pretend as if it is a RAM with controller.

On the contrary, EEPROM sometimes consists of 6-transistors per bit RAM structure (Random-access memory#Memory cell) with non-volatile memory cell. NVRAM article describes EEPROM as a kind of NVRAM. But EEPROM can be made with 2 transistors per bit at the minimum. Cafeduke (talk) 12:56, 18 March 2018 (UTC)

:Yes, according to the lead there, Flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory. Flash can also be used as ROM if it is programmed at the factory and no write line connected or otherwise write protected. ~Kvng (talk) 17:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

I would recommend moving the DDr4 SDRAM picture to a better place or just removing it. It just seems out of place. I would myself but I am not sure how. RyanMurphey (talk) 01:42, 14 November 2019 (UTC)

:I've moved this so that it is clear it is the WP:LEADIMAGE. ~Kvng (talk) 17:47, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

I can't find any WP:SECONDARY sources that discuss semi-volatile memory. There are two patents cited in {{slink|Computer memory|Semi-volatile memory}}. The second patent doesn't use the term or anything similar. The first appears to a patent with no uptake (solution looking for a problem) and is therefore is not notable enough to include in the article and I propose to remove it. Comments? ~Kvng (talk) 18:20, 12 June 2022 (UTC)

:Nor can I find any secondary sources - agree the section should be removed Tom94022 (talk) 15:46, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

• Sort of oppose Don't see much worth adding to this article. Why not move Data in use, Data in transit and Data at rest into Data and then link from there to Computer memory, Data communications and Computer Storage respectively? Tom94022 (talk) 23:30, 19 March 2025 (UTC)

:@Fgnievinski, aan you elaborate on your WP:NEO assertion? These articles have citations and a quick search shows evidence of use of the terms in sources. ~Kvng (talk) 23:02, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
