Storage is a device or media that data and applications are stored on.
Storage devices are normally Hard Drives, and Floppy, ZIP, JAZZ, Syquest disks. Floppy disks, and other removable media should not be used as if they are a hard drive. Floppy disks should only be used to store files for transport to another machine. Hard Drives are referred to as Non-removable Media. They are considered a permanent device, and are typically mounted inside the computer.
