Detailed explanation-1: -Answer. False. Internal memory is installed inside the computer. External memory, on the other hand, is installed outside of the computer, typically in the form of a removable storage device such as a USB flash drive or external hard drive.
Detailed explanation-2: -There are basically two kinds of internal memory: ROM and RAM. ROM stands for read-only memory. It is non-volatile, which means it can retain data even without power. It is used mainly to start or boot up a computer.
Detailed explanation-3: -Hard disk is the main storage device for computers. It is fixed inside the CPU cabinet and contains all the software and data.
Detailed explanation-4: -In short, Internal Storage is for apps to save sensitive data to which other apps and users cannot access. However, Primary External Storage is part of built-in storage which can be accessed (for read-write) by the user and other apps but with permissions.
