Several Devices on a Computer can be used to store data. The most common is the Hard Drive. Also called the Hard Disk, these are the primary method of computer storage. There is at least one of these in almost every computer. Although, they are starting to be replaces by Solid State Drives, which are another type of computer storage.

There are also many external types of storage to. Memory sticks, Memory Cards (Like in your camera), MP3 Players, CDs/DVDs and Floppy disks are all used as computer storage.
