Storage devices store data that can be retrieved later.  

$\huge{\bf{ \red {\fbox{\underline{ \color{blue}{Secondary.. storage}}}}}}$ Devices store data not currently being processed. Unlike the computer's main memory, or primary storage, which is based on sets of silicon chips, the more permanent secondary storage systems are usually based on magnetic disks or magnetic tape.
While computers may need only enough main memory capacity to carry out the computer's processing tasks, secondary storage is usually much larger because it is used to store many different types of data and program files for long periods of time.


In these systems, a  disk drive is used to rotate the  disk. Although, a disk drive may appear to be a fairly simple device, it is actually a complex system with several devices that must work in concert. Based on a system of precise timing, a read head hovers above the spinning diskette surface to "read" magnetically encoded data from the disk.

The data is encoded on the diskette by a separate device, the  write head, that also floats just above the surface of the spinning diskette.

Before the computer can write data to a disk, the disk must be formatted. The formatting process organizes the disk's magnetic medium into tracks. Some disks have as few as 40 tracks, but other special disks have as many as 500.

$\textbf {Answer -}$

Secondary devices those are non volatile and is either external or internal to the system.

Examples include pen drive, memory chips etc.
