Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Removable storage medium refers to a storage device that can be detached from the computer system and carry data with the user. Examples include USB drives, memory cards, and external hard drives. The storage device, on the other hand, is the hardware responsible for reading and writing data from and to the storage medium. It can be a built-in component of the computer or an external hardware such as a card reader or hard drive enclosure. Therefore, the storage device and storage medium are two separate pieces of hardware, with the storage medium being removable in many cases.
