                      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.


                  Hard Disk

                  box. It has the highest storage capacity.


                  CD and DVD                                                                            Hard disk

                  You must have seen these at your home or your
                  school. These are circular in shape and have a

                  shiny surface. You can store a lot of data in these.
                  A CD and a DVD are similar in shape but, the
                  storage capacity of a CD is lower than that of

                  a DVD. CD stands for Compact Disc and DVD                           CD                   DVD

                  Pen Drive

                  capacity than that of a CD or a DVD. It is so small that it can be
                  carried around in the pocket.
