Storage that can easily come out of the computer for transport. For example, a USB flash drive (also called a "thumb drive") can be plugged in via USB port, have information written to it and then be removed in seconds for storage elsewhere. This would be as opposed to something like the Hard Drive because, even though technically it can be removed, it's not meant to be. It is meant to stay inside the machine.
