    Secondary storage, sometimes called auxiliary storage, is all data storage that is not currently in a computer's primary storage or memory. In a personal computer, secondary storage typically consists of storage on the hard disk and on any removable media, if present, such as a CD or DVD, flash memory, floppy disks, magnetic tape, paper tape, punched cards, standalone RAM disks, and Iomega Zip drives.
