Detailed explanation-1: -Storage devices can be internal (located inside the system unit), external (plugged into an external port on the system unit), or remote (located on another computer). Storage media are volatile. Users do not have to be concerned with how files are physically stored on a storage medium.
Detailed explanation-2: -In short, Internal Storage is for apps to save sensitive data to which other apps and users cannot access. However, Primary External Storage is part of built-in storage which can be accessed (for read-write) by the user and other apps but with permissions.
Detailed explanation-3: -Internal storage refers to the means by which data is saved when the PC or laptop is powered off. Traditionally the device that stored the data was call a hard disk drive (HDD)-essentially a magnetic spinning disk upon which the data was stored.
Detailed explanation-4: -A hard disk drive (sometimes abbreviated as a hard drive, HD, or HDD) is a non-volatile data storage device. It is usually installed internally in a computer, attached directly to the disk controller of the computer’s motherboard.
Detailed explanation-5: -External drives connect to a computer or device through interfaces like USB 2.0, USB-C or with External SATA (eSATA).
