A secondary storage device is a storage medium that holds information until it is deleted or overwritten. For example, a floppy disk drive or a hard disk drive is an example of a secondary storage device. A primary storage device on the other-hand is a storage location that holds memory for short periods of times. For example, computer RAM is an example of a primary storage device.
