Disk drives are often replaced with "flash ram" as the technology of the latter improves. Such devices are often called "SSD" for solid-state drive. Flash ram can retain its data when the power is off. Computers using SSD can be "booted up" instantly. The technology of flash ram has not reached the point where it can compete with disks fro data capacity, so SSD computers are typically small laptops, whereas computer used for serious things like software development still use disk drives.
