Alternatively
referred to as storage, storage media, or storage medium,
a storage device is a hardware device
capable of holding information. There are two storage devices used in
computers; a primary storage device such as
computer RAM and a secondary storage device such as
a computer hard drive. The secondary storage
could be a removable,
internal, or external
storage. In the picture to
the right, is an example of a Drobo, an
external secondary storage device.
Without a storage device, you and your computer would not be able to save any
settings or information and would be considered a
dumb terminal. Below, are some additional examples of storage devices
that are used with computers.
