    Primary memory, also known as RAM, is the area in a computer where data can be quickly accessed by the processor for processing. It is volatile, fast, and smaller in size compared to secondary memory. Secondary memory, like hard disks, solid state drives, USB drives, and tapes, is where programs and data are stored long-term in a non-volatile manner and is larger, slower, and not directly accessible by the CPU. Together, primary and secondary memory work together to process and store data in a computer system.
