They're not part of the computer - they are peripheral devices. Anything that's not permanently attached to a computer is a peripheral.

However, a solid state hard drive that acts similarly to a flash drive would be considered a computer component. The RAM and CPU would be considered computer components. If you want to get technical, you could include essential internal peripherals such as a graphic adapter, since they are essential and permanently attached.
