Drives on Your Computer
Whether it’s the software program that you bought from
your local computer store or the shopping list you just
typed up using your word processor, all information in a
computer is stored electronically.
To save (write) data or retrieve (read) data, the computer
uses a drive. There are different ways to store data, and each
different type of data storage has a specific drive.
