Primary Vs Secondary Storage
Primary storage is ____ as compared to secondary storage:
Primary storage (such as RAM) is typically faster but more expensive than secondary storage (like hard drives or SSDs). Therefore, it is fast and expensive compared to secondary storage.

Data Storage Unit Conversion
1 Yottabyte (YB) is equal to how many Zettabytes (ZB)?
1 Yottabyte (YB) equals 1024 Zettabytes (ZB) because data storage units increase by powers of 1024 in binary prefixes. Hence, 1 YB = 1024 ZB.

Temporary Storage
Which of the following holds data and processing instructions temporarily until the CPU needs them?
Main memory (RAM) temporarily holds data and processing instructions while the CPU needs them, enabling quick access during processing. ROM is permanent storage, and the Control Unit directs operations but does not store data temporarily.
