What is an Auxiliary storage?

Auxiliary storage refers to secondary storage devices that are used to store data and programs not currently in use by a computer's main memory (RAM). Examples include hard drives, solid-state drives, USB flash drives, and optical disks. Unlike primary storage, auxiliary storage is non-volatile, meaning it retains data even when the computer is powered off. It provides larger storage capacity and is essential for data backup and archiving.
