We use a cupboard to store books, toys,                We use a refrigerator to store
                  clothes, etc.                                          food, fruits, vegetables, milk, etc.

                    STORAGE DEVICES OF A COMPUTER

                 When we work on a computer, we can save our work to use later. For example, if

                 we create a drawing in Paint, we can save it on the computer and open it again
                 anytime. We use storage devices to save our work on the computer. Let us learn
                 about some storage devices.
                 CD and DVD

                 You must have seen these at your home or

                 your school. They are circular in shape and
                 have a shiny surface. They can hold a lot of
                 data.
                 A CD and a DVD look similar, but a DVD can

                 store more data than a CD. CD stands for
                                                                                   CD                    DVD
                 Compact Disc, and DVD stands for Digital
                 Versatile Disc.

                 Pen Drive

                 A Pen drive is a small storage device with a higher capacity
                 than a CD or DVD. It is small enough to fit in your pocket,
                 making it easy to carry around.

                                      Memory Card

                                      A memory card is a smallest storage device, even smaller than
                                      a pen drive or a CD. It is used in devices like mobile phones and
                                      digital cameras to increase their storage capacity.
