Secondary memory is used for storage purposes.
Files and data which are currently not in use by the processor of a computer is stored in the secondary memory.
These are stored as temporary files and are not permanent.
This helps the computer to access files faster when accessed by a user.

Explanation:
Secondary storage devices primarily refer to storage devices that serve as an addition to the computer's primary storage, RAM and cache memory. Since they always consist of non-volatile memory, they allow the user to permanently store data on them.
