Good Question.

Learned something new.

Never worked with secondary files, but then also was able to guess correct. 🙂

Good question! I also want to recommend everyone to create one or more filegroup for user objects (like tables and indexes) and never place any user object in primary filegroup. If you separate the user objects from the system objects the database will be online even if you get a drive failure for the secondary filegroup (Enterprise feature).
