Secondary following in storage devices refers to the process of retrieving data from secondary storage, such as hard drives or SSDs, after it has been initially loaded into primary storage (RAM). This process is essential for accessing larger volumes of data that cannot fit into primary storage. Secondary storage is typically slower than primary memory but offers greater capacity, making it crucial for data persistence and long-term storage. Common examples of secondary storage include hard drives, SSDs, USB drives, and optical discs.
The computer usually uses its input/output channels to access secondary storage and transfers the desired data using intermediate area in primary storage.
Features of secondary storage devices include the ability to quickly store information, mirror primary storage, and to be used in the event of catastrophic failure. USB flash drives are commonly used for secondary storage.
No. The secondary storage is typically slowerthan primary storage. But the secondary storage has higher capacity than primary 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!
