Describe main memory and secondary memory storage in brief...

Answer / Rekh Raj Bharti

Main memory (RAM) provides a fast, volatile memory for storing frequently used data and instructions. It is cleared when the power is turned off or rebooted. Secondary memory (like hard drives, SSDs, and USB drives) offers larger storage capacities but slower access times than main memory. They provide permanent storage even with power loss.
