The primary purpose of secondary memory is to provide long-term storage for data and programs that aren't actively being processed by the CPU. It offers larger storage capacities compared to primary memory. Examples of secondary memory storage devices include hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), optical discs (CDs, DVDs), and flash drives. These devices are used for data backups, archiving, and storing multimedia content.
