Detailed explanation-1: -All secondary storage devices which are capable of storing high volume data is referred to secondary memory. It’s slower than primary memory. However, it can save a substantial amount of data, in the range of gigabytes to terabytes. This memory is also called backup storage or mass storage media.
Detailed explanation-2: -Memory is what your computer uses to store data temporarily, while storage is where you save files permanently. When you save a file, it’s copied from the memory onto the storage drive. This is why your computer seems to run slower when it’s low on memory; it has to pull data from the storage drive in order to use it.
Detailed explanation-3: -True, the secondary memory is also known as auxiliary memory or external memory.
