Storage devices
Flash

& USB drives : these drives are very compact and easy to carry

It

comes with different storage capacity

E.g. 1GB to 16GB pen drives are available & in USB hard drive 125Gb to 1Tb

Storage devices

Cd, Dvd & blu ray disk these are the devices which stores the limited data in it Cd storage capacity 700mb Dvd stores 4Gb in single layered & double lay stores 8Gb While newly launched Blu ray disk stores three times more data It stores 25Gb in single layered & 50Gb in double layered

Conclusion
These

storage devices both primary & secondary devices are useful to store the valuable data and it can be transfer easily from one pc to other pc
