Understanding Storage Devices

Storage devices are essential hardware components used to save and retrieve digital data. They can be categorized into two main types:

  1. Primary Storage: This includes RAM (Random Access Memory), which is fast but temporary, used for quick data access while a device is running.
  2. Secondary Storage: This type provides long-term data retention and includes:
    • Hard Drives (HDDs): Traditional storage using spinning disks; they offer large capacities at lower costs.
    • Solid-State Drives (SSDs): Faster and more reliable than HDDs, SSDs have no moving parts, making them quicker for data access.
    • USB Flash Drives: Portable storage thatā€™s convenient for transferring files.
