This is a very general question. There are many types of data storage devices, but the most common storage device that holds data instructions and information we think about today in the modern personal computer is the Hard Disk Device (HDD).The HDD is an example of a magnetic storage media. Other example are tape drives, and floppy disks. Other types of storage are Optical (CD's and DVD's) and solid state devices like flash drives.
It is important to create backup of the all the sensitive data in case the original data gets erased or corrupted by any reason.There is different form of backup storage facilities available for the users as listed below: Online storage Local backup on storage on different devices.

disk storage-> direct data access storage tape storage -> serial data access storage

An input device. In fact it is the ONLY way to input data into a computer. However, the most common input device is the computer's hard-drives or mass-storage devices (which are also output devices), followed by the mouse and keyboard.
the latest storage methode is a usb stick, xD-Picture card
As a backup for saving files. You may lose data if it is not saved to secondary storage. When you turn off your computer, any unsaved data is lost. That is why you need to save it to something like a USB key.
SCSI is most commonly used for hard disks and tape drives, but it can also be used to connect a wide range of other devices, including scanners and DC drives.
Computer storage devices include any hardware that stores data. The most common type of storage device is a hard drive. The computer's primary hard drive stores the operating system, applications, and files and folders for users of the computer.While the hard drive is the most known of all storage devices, other common types exist as well. Flash memory devices, such as USB drives and iPod nanos are popular ways to store data in a small, portable format. Other types of flash memory, such as compact flash and SD cards, are popular ways to store digital camera images.External hard drives which use USB and Firewire sockets are common too. These types of drives are often used for video and photo storage, backing up internal hard drives, or for simply adding extra storage. Tape drives are another type of storage device. They are an older technology and use reels of tape to store data. They are typically used for backing up data.Storage device hierarchy is comprised of the settings that determine the order that the storage devices are accessed. While that has traditionally been determined by the cable positions and jumpers on the drives, this is now a CMOS setting as well. The reason for that is because there are so many different types of storage devices, and any of them can be bootable. So without such a CMOS setting, there is no way for the bootloader and OS to know the order of the drives.
Disk storage devices are most commonly used in personal computers as a means to enhance memory. The most common are hard disk drives, optical disk drives, and even zip drives.
In most cases same type of devices used for primary storage - hard drives.
