Any device for storing data must have certain components. A way of getting information into the device is usually done through the network the device is connected to. The same arrangement gets information out as well. The storage is done in memory such as Random Access Memory that can 'remember' the information even if electricity is not there.
what manages the computers hardware? THE TEXTBOOK ANSWER IS THE OPERATING SYSTEM
The four essential elements of a comuter or input, output, processing and storage of data.
The main similarity of storage devices and memory is that both are used for storing documents, files and images. They all come in different storage capacity.
A memory stick
The operating system (OS) manages hardware components, including the CPU, memory, storage, and peripheral devices. It acts as an intermediary between users and the hardware, facilitating resource allocation, process management, and device communication. By efficiently coordinating these components, the OS ensures smooth operation and optimal performance of the computer system.
The fundamental elements of a computer include the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage (hard drive or SSD), input devices (keyboard, mouse), output devices (monitor, printer), and the motherboard which connects and controls these components. These elements work together to process data and execute tasks.
THER ARE TWO TYPES OF STORAGE DEVICES: RAM(RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY DEVICE) CD WRITERAND ROM(READ ONLY MEMORY)e.g DVD ROM.Uhh no that's completely wrong there are many examples of storage devices. There is magnetic storage devices, optical storage devices, silicon storage devices, and others i cant think of.~Dawn~
The elements that make up a computer architecture include the central processing unit (CPU), memory (RAM), storage devices (such as hard drives or solid-state drives), input devices (like keyboards and mice), output devices (such as monitors and printers), and the system bus that connects these components. The CPU is responsible for executing instructions and performing calculations, while memory stores data and instructions temporarily for quick access. Storage devices hold data and programs long-term, and input/output devices allow users to interact with the computer. The system bus facilitates communication between these components by transferring data and control signals.
Long term memory is found on secondary storage devices.
A computer is made up of many components (parts). There are five main types of components: (1) microprocessors, (2) memory chips, (3) input devices, (4) storage devices, and (5) output devices. The microprocessor, also known as the central processing unit (CPU), does the actual computing. Memory chips hold data and processing instructions for use by the microprocessor. The computer receives data through input devices, such as a keyboard. Storage devices, which include disks and tapes, hold data and instructions for transfer to memory. Output devices, such as a television-like monitor, show results of the computer work. A computer is made up of many components (parts).

Other components may include a graphics card, network card, and power supply.
Flash memory is a term used for solid state devices. They are called solid state because they have no moving parts and the data is "flashed" to the device. Mobile phones use flash memory, USB storage devices or even large mass storage devices can be bought as solid state.
