A storage device using hard disks for data.

An input device allows you to send information to a computer, like typing on a keyboard or taking a photo with a webcam.

Common input devices include keyboards, mice, scanners, webcams, and fingerprint scanners. Each one has a specific way of providing data to the computer.

An output device displays or produces information from the computer, like showing content on a monitor or printing a document.

Output devices include monitors, printers, speakers, headphones, and projectors. Each one presents or reproduces information in a different format.

Primary storage is the computer's main memory, like RAM, where data is temporarily stored so the processor can access it quickly.

Secondary storage saves information persistently, even when the computer is off, using devices like hard drives, SSDs, or flash drives.

SSDs use flash memory, which is faster and more durable than the spinning disks used in HDDs. Both store data persistently.

Optical discs, like CDs and DVDs, store data using laser technology to read and write information.
