But it's literally referred to as "secondary memory" in ye olde literature (where "primary memory" is the RAM... I wonder why the CPU cache never got a place though).

Wonder if a marketing study has ever been done on whether products with names that have been anthropomorphized sell better than those that have not such as random access memory vs storage. Maybe the appeal of being able to buy something illegal like human body parts or slave(s) [drive(s)] seems like it would have a cool factor for some consumers that has some how outweighed the disgust by others.
