Storage devices can be optical, magnetic, or solid state. Optical devices like Blu-ray discs, CDs, and DVDs use lasers to read and write data while magnetic devices such as hard disks, magnetic tape, and floppy disks use magnetism. Solid state devices like external hard drives, SD cards, and USB flash drives store data electronically without moving parts or power source. Common storage devices vary in size, portability, storage capacity, and whether the data can be erased or not.
