● Video Card - Also called graphics card, integrated circuit that generates the video

signal sent to a computer display. The card is usually located on the computer
motherboard or is a separate circuit board but is sometimes built into the computer
display unit. It contains a graphics processing unit (GPU), which is a processor
dedicated to creating images; a digital-to-analog converter; and memory chips that store
display data.
● Hard Drive (HDD) - A hard drive is the primary computer storage device and is used
to store files on the computer.
● Solid-State Drive (SSD) - An SSD is a type of mass storage device similar to a hard
disk drive (HDD). It supports reading and writing data and maintains stored data in
a permanent state even without power. While SSDs serve the same function as hard
drives, their internal components are much different. Unlike hard drives, SSDs do not
have any moving parts (which is why they are called solid state drives). Instead of
storing data on magnetic platters, SSDs store data using flash memory. Since SSDs
have no moving parts, they don't have to "spin up" while in a sleep state and they don't
need to move a drive head to different parts of the drive to access data.
● Optical Drive - In the simplest terms, an optical drive is the piece of hardware that lets
a device read and interact with a disc. These discs can be CDs, DVDs, Blu-rays,
game discs, and more. All optical drives are based on the same fundamental
technology. An optical drive is composed of a laser that's used to read and write data
that's encoded in a plastic disc which spins on a platter.
● Card Reader (SD/SDHC, CF, etc.) - A card reader is a device that can decode the
information contained in a credit or debit card's magnetic strip or microchip. In
finance, the term “card reader” refers to the technologies used to detect the account
number, cardholder information, and authorization code contained on a credit card.
