Sekundärförvaring
Sekundärförvaring, also known as secondary storage or backing storage, refers to a type of computer storage that is not directly accessed by the central processing unit (CPU). Unlike primary storage, such as RAM, which provides fast access to data for immediate processing, secondary storage is slower but offers greater capacity and persistence. This means that data stored on secondary storage remains even when the computer is turned off.
Common examples of secondary storage devices include hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), USB flash
The main advantages of secondary storage are its large capacity and non-volatility, making it essential for
