They hold stuff until you need it later. Computer storage devices are machines that read stored data from storage media such as CDs.
The component that stores and retrieves items to and from storage media is typically referred to as a storage device. This includes hard drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and optical drives, which can read and write data to various types of storage media. In computing, the operating system and file management systems facilitate the organization and access of stored data. These systems work together to ensure efficient data retrieval and storage.
