What are the two types of auxiliary storage devices more often used on personal computers?
An auxiliary storage device refers to any type of storage device--except for the internal memory, usually referred to as RAM (Random Access Memory)--that is used to save information. From the moment you start typing a letter in Microsoft Word, for example, and until you click on "Save", your entire work is stored in RAM. However, once you power off your machine that work is completely erased, unless you had saved a copy on an auxiliary storage device, like an internal or an external hard disk drive, optical drives for CDs or DVDs, or a USB flash drive.
