Detailed explanation-1: -ROM retains its contents even if the device loses power. You cannot change the data on it, you can only read it.
Detailed explanation-2: -Secondary storage is non-volatile. This means that the data is still there when you turn off the power. Your files, computer programs, and other data are stored on secondary storage.
Detailed explanation-3: -You may be more familiar with primary storage as it is commonly used as random access memory (RAM), the memory used by computers for running programs and their data. Data saved within this type of storage is temporary and ephemeral. With secondary storage, it’s that hard disk drive (HDD) in our computers.
Detailed explanation-4: -Non-volatile storage is storage that maintains the data even when there is no electricity powering the device. An example is a hard disk drive (HDD) or solid state drive (SSD) that holds all of the data saved to your computer. There is other non-volatile storage, such as DVDs or flash drives.
