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



                  i +  STORAGE DEVICES OF A COMPUTER

                 When we work on a computer, we can save our work for the future. For example,
                 when we draw something in Paint, we can save it on the computer and open it
                 later.  We store our work on a computer using storage devices.


                 CD and DVD

                 CD stands for  Compact Disc and  DVD
                 stands for Digital Versatile Disc. These are
                 small storage devices. The storage capacity
                 of a DVD is more than a CD.

                                                                                   CD                    DVD


                 Pen Drive
                 A pen drive is a very small storage device. The storage capacity
                 of a pen drive is more than a DVD but less than a hard disk. It

                 is very small and can be carried around in the pocket.

                                    Memory Card
                                    A storage device that is much smaller than a pen drive or a CD

                                    is known as a memory card. It is used in a mobile phone, digital
                                    camera, or other similar devices to increase the storage capacity.

                    Info Byte
                     Hard disk is fixed inside the CPU box. It can store the files that
                     we create on computer and can be used later. It has the highest
                     storage capacity.
