	Computer storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Secondary storage requires the computer to use its input/output channels to access the information, and is used for long-term storage of persistent information.
		The relevant unit of measurement is typically nanosecond for primary storage, millisecond for secondary storage, and second for tertiary storage.
		In early computers, magnetic storage was also used for primary storage in a form of magnetic drum, or core memory, core rope memory, thin film memory, twistor memory or bubble memory.

	Secondary storage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computer storage, secondary storage, or external memory, is computer memory that is not directly accessible to the central processing unit of a computer, requiring the use of computer's input/output channels.
		Secondary storage is used to store data that is not in active use.
		Secondary storage is usually slower than primary storage, or internal memory, but also almost always has higher storage capacity and is non-volatile, which makes it perfect for the preservation of stored information in an event of power loss.

	Secondary Storage
		It is important to know the difference between secondary storage and a computer's main memory.
		Secondary storage is also called auxiliary storage and is used to store data and programs when they are not being processed.
		Secondary storage is more permanent than main memory, as data and programs are retained when the power is turned off.

	How Computers Work: Disks And Secondary Storage
		Storage capacity is unquestionably one of the most valuable assets of the computer.
		Secondary storage, sometimes called auxiliary storage, is storage separate from the computer itself, where you can store software and data on a semi permanent basis.
		Secondary storage is necessary because memory, or primary storage, can be used only temporarily.

	Secondary Storage - Lecture 3 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Compared to main memory, secondary memory is slower, bigger, and cheaper (per unit storage.) Any method for secondary storage must involve two physical parts: a peripheral device (the component of the computer which 'reads' in or 'writes' out the information to/from the system unit,) and an input/output medium, on which the information is actually stored.
		In most methods of secondary storage, this transfer is realized by passing the medium by a read/write head, which is capable of sensing/writing information from/to that type of medium.
		Secondary storage media may be removable (easily separable from the computer) like your diskettes, or fixed, like hard disks, which, for example, can be found in relatively expensive PCís.

		Secondary containment tanks first appeared in the United States in the early 1980's, when several local and state jurisdictions were just beginning to investigate tank leakage and promulgate rules for hazardous wastes and chemical storage.
		Secondary containment was one of the solutions to the problem of storage tank leaks.
		Whether or not secondary containment is mandated for their specific application, owners would be well advised to consider the investment as an economically, and environmentally, sound tank installation.

		A secondary storage device is a type of storage other than a computer's primary storage area, which is usually the hard drive.
		Secondary storage devices are designed as a backup to the main storage, and they store data on a long-term basis.
		Secondary storage is the nearest thing to permanent storage, but it will eventually wear out or be discarded due to outdated technology.

	Secondary storage facility empolying serial communications between drive and controller - Patent 4837675
		A secondary storage facility having a drive and a controller employing multiple error recovery techniques; the controller signals the drive to try such techniques in sequence, according to descending a priori probability of success.
		Therefore, it is an object of this invention to provide a secondary storage facility and, more particularly, an interconnection between controllers and drives in such a facility, wherein the complexity and costs of interconnecting a drive with its controller are reduced over prior secondary storage facilities.
		Yet another object of this invention is to provide a secondary storage facility in which the cabling between the controller and drive may be physically small, utilize a minimum number of conductors and be up to at least one hundred feet in length.

	SECONDARY STORAGE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		First, let me explain what secondary storage is. Secondary storage devices are used for long-term reservoirs for data, and include such magnetic tape, magnetic disks, and optical disks, and their respective drives.
		The best part of secondary storage devices is that they have the ability to record information so that the user can look at it again both on the same computer as well as others.
		With technology this method of secondary storage has changed dramatically, so that now a great deal of it is digitized, and the tape cartridges have become much smaller, but still they have been phased out greatly.

	Secondary storage
		The storage capacity of a floppy disk was once sufficient for most purposes—when very few programs were longer than about 400 Kbytes and data files were relatively small.
		The FDC is responsible for moving the read/write head in the disk drive to the appropriate track, and for translating the format of the data between that used by the microprocessor for storage in memory and that required by the disk drive for recording on the disk.
		The term secondary store was once synonymous with disk drives and tape transports, although magnetic bubble memories challenged the disk drive as a secondary storage device for a time and optical memory is replacing disk and tape drives in many applications.
