To Sum Up

                         Storage devices are used to store data and information for future use.

                          Magnetic disk is covered with a magnetic coating.
                          An optical disc is an electronic data storage medium that can be used to write
                        and read using a low-powered laser beam.

                          The Flash Drive is a small portable data storage device integrated with a USB
                        (Universal Serial Bus) connector.
                          The basic unit for measuring the memory of a computer is byte.

                          Other  units for  measuring  the  computer’s memory are  kilobyte,  megabyte,
                        gigabyte, terabyte, and so on.
