A Hard Disk or hard drive is a device that holds all the digitally encoded information that is stored on a computer. The hard disk cannot be removed from the computer, and it stores a great deal of information.

A CD-ROM, which stands for Compact Disc - Read Only Memory, contains data accessible to, but not writable by, a computer for storage and music playback. CD-ROMs are popular for computer software, including games and multimedia applications. Some CDs hold computer data and audio which can be played on a CD player. Data (software or digital media), on the other hand, is only usable on a computer.

A DVD, or Digital Video Disk, is an optical disc storage media format. DVDs look similar to compact discs (CDs), but store more than six times as much data.

A USB Flash Drive looks like a plastic tube that can be put into a slot in the front of the modern computer. USB flash drives are removable and re-writable. USB flash drives replace obsolete floppy disks. USB flash drives are smaller, faster, and have thousands of times more capacity than the obsolete floppy disks that they've come to replace. USB flash drives are also more durable and reliable than archaic floppy disks because of their lack of moving parts.

A SSD, or Solid-State Disk, is a storage medium that uses non-volatile memory as a means of holding and accessing data. This means there are no moving parts which gives SSDs advantages such as faster access time, noiseless operation, higher reliability, and lower power consumption.

Online and Cloud Storage allows people to access their data from more than one device. Cloud computing is a term used to describe services provided over a network by a collection of remote servers. "Clouds" provide massive amounts of storage which can be accessed by any Internet-connected device running a web browser.
