Limitations of Primary Memory: Limited capacity because the cost per bit of storage is high Volatile - data stored in it is lost when the electric power is turned off or interrupted. So as a result additional memory called auxiliary memory or secondary memory is used. Following are the features of Auxiliary or Secondary Storage: 1. Permanent or Non-volatile Storage: The data which is stored in those devices is not lost when the power is switched off. The data is retained. 2. Voluminous
