Primary memory and secondary
(auxiliary memory): In every computer there are mainly two types of Memories
to store the data, program, etc. Primary memory (which is normally known as
ram) and secondary Memory (which is normally known as hard Disk). Followings
are main differences between these two types of Memories

Primary memory
|
Secondary memory (auxiliary memory)
|
1
|
Primary memory hold the data, program And information which are currently Under execution.
|
Secondary memory hold data, information
and Program permanently.
|
2
|
It is a temporary storage

It is a permanent storage

These are normally made with
Semiconductor material and are in the Form of an IC (chip) (RAM, ROM etc.)
|
These are with some magnetic and
optical material And normally are in the form of a
disk. (hard disk,
Floppy disk etc.)
|
4
|
Primary memories are fast in operation Than secondary memories.
|
These memories are slower in operation
than primary memories
|
5
|
Cost of these memories are high
Therefore, these memories
Are used in Small size then the secondary memories Normally in MB(mega byte ) size
|
These memories are low cost memories
and normally
Used in large size like GB (Gigabytes)
|
6
|
These are on board memories (
internal)That is they are the part of CPU (motherboard)
|
These memories are supplies as an
external media And attached to CPU as a separate
device.
