Storage-class memory is a class of non-volatile media that sits between DRAM and flash, offering near-memory latency with persistence and byte-addressable access. It lets systems keep large working sets close to the processor and survive power loss without a traditional storage round trip. In data centers it accelerates databases and caching tiers, and CXL-attached variants extend it as a pooled, persistent memory resource.
