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.
access time
Secondary memory, also called auxiliary memory or mass storage, consists of devices not directly accessible by the CPU. Hard drives, floppy disks, tapes, and optical disks are widely used for secondary storage. The input and output of these devices is much slower than for the semiconductor devices that provide the computer's primary memory. Although access times (i.e., the time to read or write information) are slow as compared to that of primary memory, secondary memory devices have important features that are unmatched by primary memory. First, most secondary storage devices are capable of containing much more information than is feasible for primary memory (hence the use of the term "mass storage" as a synonym for secondary memory). A second, and essential, feature of secondary memory is that it is non-volatile. This means that data is stored with or without electrical power being supplied to the device, as opposed to RAM, which can retain its data only so long as electrical power is present.
The six hardware components of a computer system are the central processing unit (CPU), primary storage, secondary storage, input devices, output devices, and the communication devices. The central unit of a computer is the CPU.
Random Access memory
yes
ram is primary storage
The Device we can used to store data by the Computer,it is know as Storage Device.
Secondary Storage
yes, this is temporary, secondary storage
Solid State Disks Hard Disk Drives are also secondary storage devices.
Long term memory is found on secondary storage devices.
The overall trend in secondary storage device is the migration from rotating magnetic discs to solid state storage. Solid state drives (SSD's) are however considerably more costly than older types of storage.

HDD (Hard Disk Drive) is Non Volatile storage device (permanent). It is also considered as Secondary storage device. Secondary storage devices are always non volatile. Primary storage devices like Ram are volatile (temporary).
