Distinguish between primary storage and secondary storage?
Primary storage, also known as main memory or internal memory, refers to the storage space in a computer that is directly accessible to the processor. Primary storage is typically used to store data and instructions that are currently being used or processed by the computer. Secondary storage, also known as external memory, refers to storage space that is not directly accessible to the processor, but is used to store data and instructions for longer periods of time. Secondary storage is typically used to store data that is not currently being used, but that needs to be kept for future reference. There are several key differences between primary storage and secondary storage: Speed: Primary storage is generally faster than secondary storage, as it is directly accessible to the processor. This means that the processor can access and retrieve data from primary storage more quickly than it can from secondary storage. Capacity: Primary storage is typically smaller in capacity than secondary storage. This is because primary storage is used to store data that is currently being used or processed, while secondary storage is used to store data that is not currently being used. Cost: Primary storage is typically more expensive than secondary storage, as it requires faster and more expensive memory chips. Volatility: Primary storage is generally volatile, meaning that it is lost when the power is turned off. In contrast, secondary storage is non-volatile, meaning that it retains data even when the power is turned off. Location: Primary storage is located inside the computer, while secondary storage is typically external to the computer and is connected to the computer through a port or interface.
What is the importance of secondary storage?
Secondary storage can be used to restore a backup of your files if you have to format. You can use it if you run out of room on your main hard drive. If it is external secondary storage you can also bring it with you if you need to access files at work or somewhere else. Commonly used types of secondary storage are the USB drive and Floppy Disk, as referred to in the joke 'Can you turn my floppy disk into a hard drive?' which is impossible!
What is the purpose of swapping?
Swapping was an older form of memory management. It was moving from/to secondary storage a whole program at a time, in a scheme known as roll-in/roll-out. Now swapping is a fairly close synonym of paging.
Why do embedded devices not have a secondary storage?
While most embedded systems computers are not equipped with secondary storage, there are some that do have secondary storage. Such secondary storage when present is usually some kind of nonremovable Flash drive (although sometimes the Flash drive is removable, e.g. SDHC card). The reason most embedded systems computers are not equipped with secondary storage is that the application code is relatively small and no updates are expected to be needed, also the size of RAM is predetermined and the program must run in realtime so the use of virtual memory on disk is not desirable as it can produce unpredictable delays resulting in missing of realtime deadlines.
Where does a computer store a program and the data that the program is working with while the program is running?
secondary storage
How primary and secondary storage handle storage for application program instructions?

What is a computer storage drive?
There are two types of storage devices used with computers: a primary storage device, such as RAM, and a secondary storage device, like a hard drive. Secondary storage can be removable, internal, or external storage.
Name of the secondary storage media popularity used in all generation computers?
Throughout the generations of computers, various secondary storage media have been used, with magnetic tape and floppy disks being popular in earlier generations. As technology advanced, hard disk drives (HDDs) became the dominant form of storage due to their capacity and speed. More recently, solid-state drives (SSDs) have gained popularity for their faster performance and reliability. Today, cloud storage is also emerging as a widely used secondary storage solution.
Is the secondary storage faster than main memory?
No. The secondary storage is typically slowerthan primary storage. But the secondary storage has higher capacity than primary storage.
How secondary storage devices are classified?
Secondary storage is?æthe devices for permanent storage and it is not affected if the computer is turned on or not. Secondary storage is?æmostly known as auxiliary storage or external hardware.
Is A storage medium also is called secondary storage?
yes. it's also called secondary storage
What is 8051 loader?
The Loader is a program that moves the executable file produced by linker from the secondary storage device to memory for execution
Differences between secondary storage and primary storage?
Primary storages are volatile. An Example of primary storage : RAM whereas, Secondary storages are permanent. An Example of secondary storage : ROM
What are the organization that use the magnetic disk as secondary storage device?
Um, your question doesn;t make much sense.. Secondary storage in normally considered your computers hard drive, a flash drive, floppy disc and the like. Things that don't lose data when turned off. Primary storage (like system memory)is accessed directly by your CPU, secondary storage is normally accessed through some soft or I/O device.

In Visual Basics this is known as a Variable
