What Are Storage Devices?
Storage devices are tools that we use to save or store information. Just like you keep your toys in a box to use later, computers use storage devices to keep information safe until we need it.

Sub Topic: Meaning of Storage devices and examples
Meaning of Storage Devices: A storage device is a piece of hardware used to store digital data. It holds information that can be accessed by a computer or other electronic devices.
Examples of Storage Devices:

Examples of Storage Devices:

1. USB Drive:
   This is a small, portable device that you can carry around. It’s like a tiny box where you can store your homework, pictures, and videos. You can plug it into a computer to add or take out information.
2. CD/DVD:
   A CD or DVD is a round disc that looks like a shiny plate. It can hold a lot of information, like music, movies, or even games. You put it into a computer or a DVD player to access what’s stored on it.
3. Hard Drive:
   A hard drive is like the brain of a computer where everything is stored, from the games you play to the pictures you draw. It’s inside the computer, and it holds all the important information.

Why Are Storage Devices Important?
Storage devices help us keep important information safe so we can use it whenever we need it. Imagine if you lost your homework or favorite pictures—storage devices help make sure that doesn’t happen!
