Hard Drive/SSD
When you save information onto your computer, it is written/ recorded on a hard drive. A hard drive consists of a spindle of magnetic discs (platters) and magnetic heads that are used to store information that is saved onto your computer/laptop.
SSDs are the modern day version of a hard drive or floppy disk. As there are no moving parts, the device is a lot smaller and therefore fits into phones, ipads etc. These SSDs are much more efficient yet cost a significant lot more than the hard drive.
