Backing Storage



Backing storage (sometimes known as secondary storage) is the name for all other data storage devices in a computer: Hard drive, etc.

Backing storage is usually non-volatile, so it is generally used to store data for a long time.

Backing storage devices are slower to access, but can hold data permanently. Memory is fast to access, but only holds data temporarily.
