Hi, This question may sound stupid. But I want to know that
if the secondary storage device is used to store data on
computer, then what is the use of the primary storage in the
first place? Why cant we use only one?

Answer Posted / saket kale

The speed difference between the CPU and secondary storage
is too high, so if secondary storage is treated as the
primary one then the overall speed will slow down
considerably, basically primary storage is used to increase
speed and provide instant output.
