A peripheral is a device attached to a host computer behind the chipset whose primary functionality is dependent upon the host, and can therefore be considered as expanding the hosts capabilities, while not forming part of the system's core architecture.
Answer:
The usual definition is: Storage outside of the CPU, such as disk and tape.
An external storage device can also be thought of as a 'stand alone' peripheral device, like a USB plug-in disk drive, that's not part of your usual computer configuration.

∙ 15y agoAn external storage device serves as extra memory for your computer which connects usually by a USB port. Most personal external storage devices range from 100GB of storage to 1 terabyte which is 1000GB of memory. Their prices usually depend on the amount of memory, and brand, I do not know many brands of external storage devices but Western Digital (usually displayed as WD on their products) seems to be popular right now. At the moment I have a non-portable 500GB external storage device. Make sure you look to see if the device is portable or not; portable devices will just have a USB cord built in, but non-portable devices will require an outlet. Which is bad if you are on the go. When you plug in the external storage device via USB port, your computer will recognize it and may download some software which enables some extra features which includes allowing you to name your external storage device and register it. If you want to start moving files right away, just go to 1. Start 2. My Computer 3. and and for instance, if you named your device, the icon may look like this: E) "JohnsStorageDevice"
