Devices that has any form of storage capability can store any data. Storage device can be considered to be computers, tablets, smart phones and even cameras.  As we grow further into the electronic world, we are striving for more external cloud base storage, such as google drive, OneDrive, Amazon and Dropbox. Some of these cloud base storage are free and others charge a nominal fee for gigabyte of storage

Data:
Large amount of data can be stored for personal or business use. Information can be stored internally, externally or in the cloud. Computer storage is measured in bytes; kilobytes (KB), megabytes (MB) and terabytes (TB). Information is stored internally on the computer’s hard disk drive which is a metal or plastic disk. It can store huge amounts of documents, photos, videos, music and programs.
