    Let's say i have 2 secondary files(File1 and File2) and those two files are allowed to grow 10%, if the user tries to enter data where does data initially get stored...Does it go to File1 or File2...How does sql server determine whether to store the data???

    If there are three files in one filegroup, then data will be written to them all according to the proportional fill algorithm
