Primary storage refers to onboard computer memory or Random Access Memory (RAM). It is memory that can be accessed directly by the CPU hardware using a memory address to fetch and process instructions and data. It is where computer programs are held while being executed. It is where data is held while it is being processed by computer instructions computer programs are held while being executed.Computer memory includes, Computer memory includes:
- Volatile RAM is semiconductor memory that loses its information when power is lost or the computer is turned off.
- Static RAM is volatile memory that does not lose its information when the computer is turned off or loses power.
- Read Only Memory (ROM) is memory that has fixed information prerecorded or preset and can not be changed. ROM contains the program that is first run when a computer is turned on. On a PC it is the program that runs before control is transferred to the BIOS. It may be a semiconductor chip that can only be modified once or it can be the actual arrangement of the circuitry on a chip.
- Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) is a Read Only Memory that can be changed under special circumstances. Depending on the type of PROM, you may need special equipment, or need to use special instructions to write to this kind of memory. AN example is the BIOS program on a personal computer that needs a special "flash" process to update the version of BIOS it is using.
Secondary storage is the media that hold your programs and data, other than when it is being used in memory.
- It is normally a hard drive or disk drive (magnetic media or solid state) that is kept as part of your computer system.
- Disk drives are also used for off site or backup storage. They are normally mounted in protective cases and connect to the computer with a USB, Firewire, or other proprietary connection.
- Secondary storage also includes other media such as floppy disks, diskettes, tape on reels or in cartridges, optical media (CD, DVD) or removable solid state media (referred to as flash drives, USB drives, memory sticks, SD cards, etc.
- It is used to save, backup, protect and transport information from one location to another.
There is an alternate opinion that the hard drive should be considered primary storage and other removable storage device should be considered secondary storage.
----------
Primary storage, also known as main storage is the location where most of your data is stored on your computer. EXAMPLE.... HARD disk
Secondary storage, some times called auxiliary storage is used to take care of the limitation of primary storage. EXAMPLE.... CD(compect disk),DVD(digital vedio disk),SD card,Memory card e.t.c
----------
Primary storage in a computer: RAM or random access memory is the first stage of memory (primary), it holds things such as your operating system in the ram memory so as you boot your computer it grabs it from ram, as it would be faster than accessing your hard drive every time you boot.
Secondary storage is your Hard drive, where you save information on which is accessed via your operating system.
is CD a primary or a secondary storage device
----------
Primary storage is RAM (Random Access Memory) and cache.
Secondary storage is Floppy, hard drive, CDs.
The primary form of storage is the hard drive that is the default also. You can also save onto flash drives, floppies, and cds which are examples of secondary forms of storage

Difference between primary server and secondary server?
Primary Means, it is individual there is no dependence, But Secondary will allays depends on Primary, If you want to do Secondary, you should complete primary first, There is no precondition to primary, but for Secondary Primary is the Precondition, first you should do primary, then only you are able to do secondary.
What is Primary demand and secondary demand?
primary and secondary demand
A transformer has 20 primary windings and 100 secondary windings If the secondary voltage is 25 V find the primary voltage?
Voltage on primary/Primary turns = Voltage on secondary/Secondary turns
What are the two coils in a transformer?
primary and secondary coilsAnswerPrimary and secondary windings.
What are the body's primary and secondary responses?
Primary is IgM and secondary is IgG
How does the product of voltage and current in the primary compare with the product of voltage and current in the secondary?
The current in the secondary when the voltage is twice the primary will be one half of the primary. The current in the primary when the voltage is twice the secondary will be twice the secondary.
Are furniture primary or secondary?
Secondary
Is a predator a primary or a secondary?
secondary
Formula for relation between primary winding and secondary winding?
The turns ratio of Primary / Secondary tells you have the voltage and current will be changed. The secondary current will be (primary turns/secondary turns) times the primary current, and the secondary voltage will be (secondary turns / primary turns) times the primary voltage.CommentThe above answer is a little misleading, because the secondary current is determined by the load, and not by the transformer's ratio. It would, therefore, be more accurate to say that the primary current would be equal to the secondary current times the (primary turns/secondary turns) -i.e. not the other way around!
Are Carnivores primary or secondary consumer?
Secondary consumers - primary consumers are the herbivores
How do you carry two primary weapons on batffiled3?
You cannot. You have a primary and a secondary. You have to have a secondary.
