Primary Memory Storage
Source
Also known as 'Main Storage' or 'Memory' is the main area of storage for computers in which data is stored for quick access by the computer's processor. The computer continiously reads instructions stored here and proceeds to inact them as required. Memory stored here is stored in the RAM of the computers.
Secondary Memory Storage
Is known to be the slowest, and cheapest, form of storage. Cannot be directly processed by the CPU - Central Processing Unit, it must be first copied from Primary Memory Storage. Secondary memory devices are the computer's hard drive, floppy disks (no longer used now), CD's.
