in general, a HDD or a tape casette. HDD tend to be used for normal computers and for servers, tape casettes tend to be used for the backup of servers (they're the things that you see spinning on computers in old fashioned movies

Which device holds the most information?
The hard drive in a computer system will hold the most information.
What is the largest unit of information?
I would say a monoicosebyte which is an astonishing 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. This unit of storage will most likely never come up due to how large this unit of measurement is for storage. I bet that there isn't even a single device on earth that can hold this many bytes.
List 5 latest storage device?
flash memory,floppy disc,usb,pendrive,RAM,hardisk
What magnetic storage device is most commonly used as a backup device?
tape drive
Which storage devices holds most data?
Hold drives can hold the most data of any storage device. They can contain up to a few terabytes now and they are becoming bigger and bigger everyday.
Which storage device is the most expensive for 1 gigabyte of storage?
SRAM, what the cache on your CPU is.
What is most papular sequential access storage device?
magnetic tape
What is the most common magnetic storage device installed in computers?
yes
What is a Storage device that typically uses flash memory to store data instructions and information?
This is a very general question. There are many types of data storage devices, but the most common storage device that holds data instructions and information we think about today in the modern personal computer is the Hard Disk Device (HDD).The HDD is an example of a magnetic storage media. Other example are tape drives, and floppy disks. Other types of storage are Optical (CD's and DVD's) and solid state devices like flash drives.
Where is the data storage device located in the vehicle?
Most modern cars store a small amount of information about the operation of the car in the same module that contains the car's engine control computer. This is usually located under the "hood" in the engine compartment. Most cars have a plud under the dashboard on the driveer's side of the car to access the storage device and "read the codes" and other information the car stores about recent operation and performance.
Is a biometric device a input or output device?
Most biometric devices would be input devices although they may also utilize storage devices and output devices in their functioning. A biometric device usually takes in biometric information about a person and compares it to information stored in a database - much like username/password methods of authentication compare the username and password to the stored information for a user. Fingerprint scanners, read the fingerprint, convert it to a data stream and then compare it to the stored data previously recorded for the individual, retinal scanners read information about the retinal patterns of a user, convert it to data and compare it to stored data, etc. Note that biometric devices must rely on a storage device, but usually the storage device is not part of the biometric device. Instances of OUTPUT associated with a biometric device might be a signal to open a door or trigger an alarm, but again, the output usually comes from another device that the biometric device is connected to.
What storage device records data magnetically and is most often used for backups?
Hdd
