Primary memory is the main memory of the computer system. Accessing data from primary memory is faster because it is an internal memory of the computer. All secondary storage devices which are capable of storing high volume data is referred to as secondary memory.
The memory devices used for primary memory are semiconductor memories. The secondary memory devices are magnetic and optical memories. 6. Primary memory is also known as Main memory or Internal memory. Secondary memory is also known as External memory or Auxiliary memory
1. Primary / Main memory:
Primary memory is the computer memory that is directly accessible by CPU. It is comprised of DRAM and provides the actual working space to the processor. It holds the data and instructions that the processor is currently working on.
2. Secondary Memory / Mass Storage:
The contents of the secondary memory first get transferred to the primary memory and then are accessed by the processor, this is because the processor does not directly interact with the secondary memory.
Hope it helps you
