ITPEC FE Morning October 2019 — Question 23 of 80

Flash Memory — non-volatile memory that is electrically erased in block units.

Why (b):
- Flash memory stores data without power and supports electronic block-level erasure

Why not others:
- (a) Describes EPROM — erased by ultraviolet rays

- (c) Describes SRAM — fast rewrite, used for CPU cache

- (d) Describes DRAM — requires periodic refresh to retain data

Key rule: Flash = electrically erasable in blocks; EPROM = UV erasure; EEPROM = byte-level electrical erasure; DRAM = periodic refresh; SRAM = fast, no refresh, used for cache.
