Question

12. Why there is a need of Auxiliary Memory?

Answer 1

Answer:

Auxiliary memory units are among computer peripheral equipment. They trade slower access rates for greater storage capacity and data stability. Auxiliary memory holds programs and data for future use, and, because it is nonvolatile (like ROM), it is used to store inactive programs and to archive data.

Answer 2

Answer:

Auxiliary memory, also known as auxiliary storage, secondary storage, secondary memoryor external memory, is a non-volatile memory (does not lose stored data when the device is powered down) that is not directly accessible by the CPU, because it is not accessed via the input/output channels (it is an external device). In RAM devices (as flash memory) data can be directly deleted or changed.

It is used to store a large amount of data at lesser cost per byte than primary memory; secondary storage is two orders of magnitude less expensive than primary storage
