Gday,

I was wondering whether anyone can give me the lowdown on what a secondary storage system is?

And what other alternatives there are to using them.

Cheers
Jackson

Secondary storage is a category of Computer storage. It is used to store data that is not in active use. It is usually slower and has higher capacity than Primary storage, and is almost always non-volatile.

Storage devices in this category include:


CD, CD-R, CD-RW
DVD
Floppy disk
Hard disk
Magnetic tape
Paper tape
Punch card
Flash memory
not being rude or anything but this was something that could have been easily google'd :p...
