EXAMPLES OF STORAGE DEVICES

Hard disk drives are magnetic, non-volatile computer storage devices. A hard disk drive stores data on two spinning platters inside the drive.

Tape drives are another type of magnetic computer storage devices. Instead of platters, the tape drives use magnetic tape to record data.

Optical disc drives include CD, DVD, and Blu-ray. When a disc is inserted into an optical drive, the drive's laser is focused on the disc by the lens on the drive.
