What is a storage device?

Storage devices are used in the computers to store the data. The
computer has many types of data storage devices. Some of them can be
classified as the removable data Storage Devices and the others as the nonremovable data storage. Below are examples of computer related storage
and measuring instruments.
1. System Unit

is the part of a computer that houses the

primary devices that perform operations and
produce results for complex calculations
2. Memory

In computing, memory refers to the physical

devices used to store programs data on a

temporary or permanent basis for use in a

computer or other digital electronics
3. Hard drive

4. CD/DVD ROM

5. Flash drive

6. SD cards

7. LAN Tester

It is a storage device used for storing and

retrieving digital information using rapidly
rotating disks coated with magnetic material.
An HDD retain its data even when powered off
It is a drive that uses laser light or
electromagnetic waves within or near the
visible light spectrum as part of the process of
reading or writing data to or from optical discs.
a small electronic device containing flash
memory that is used for storing data or
transferring it to or from a computer, digital
camera, etc
SD (Secure Digital Memory Card) card is a
small card for creating more memory on a
digital camera, cell phone or other portable
device.
A cable tester is an electronic device used to
verify the electrical connections in a cable or
other wired assembly. Generally a cable tester
consists of: A source of electric current, A volt
meter, A switching matrix used to connect the
current source and the voltmeter to all of the
contact points in a cable.

8. Diagnostic card tester

quality of electricity in computer components
10.Loopback adapter

Used to test the functionality of computer ports

11.Power Supply Tester

A power supply tester is an electronic device used

to test how well a computer power supply is
functioning. This type of testing is often performed
as part of maintenance on a computer, and can be
used to try to determine the source of a computer
problem.
