  1. secondary storage

    Secondary storage, also known as external storage, refers to any non-volatile device or system that stores data, which a computer or server can access, but is not directly involved in its primary operation or processing. This includes devices such as hard drives, USB drives, SSDs, CDs, DVDs, or cloud storage systems. Unlike primary storage (RAM), data in secondary storage doesn't disappear when the computer is shut down, and it typically offers a larger storage capacity.
