Which of the following is not an alternative name for primary memory? A. Main memory B. Primary storage C. Internal storage D. Mass storage E. None of the above
Mass storage is an older term that refers to ordinary storage, which was always larger (more "massive") than main memory (RAM). See storage vs. memory. If the term is used today, it means a huge amount of storage such as in a server array and not the capacity found in a single computer or server (see RAID array).
