                     The devices that are used to store data are called  Storage
                     devices. There are many storage devices to store our data

                     or work so that we can get it back whenever we need it. For
                     example, storage  is  keeping your books and pencils  in your

                     out and use them whenever needed. Some of the commonly
                     used storage devices are:

                     we create on computer and these files can be used later.
