Temporary storage is ram, or memory, reason it is temporary is that when you switch the computer off, all information that was stored in memory is now gone. Permanent storage would be the original type of ROM. It was written to once and could never be changed. That was mainly used for BIOS instructions. While hard drives are non-volatile, meaning they don't need power to retain their memory, they are not permanent. Nonvolatile storage is hard drives (both internal and external), CD's, DVDs, floppies, USB devices (including flash memory), because data that is stored on these devices remain there until physically changed, or deleted. The data is not lost when the power is turned off.
