Computer Storage Devices
The devices which are used to store Data,
Information and Instruction are called Storage
Devices.
Storage Devices can be categorized into main 3 parts
According to their manufacturing technology.
1)Magnetic media devices
2)Optical media devices
3)Solid states media devices
Computer Storage Devices
1)Magnetic media devices
They are made of a magnetic surface or a magnetic
tape.
