Which of the following device can store large amounts of data?

AFloppy Disk

BCDROM

CZip Disk

DHard Disk

Answer:

D. Hard Disk

Read Explanation:

  • Floppy Disk: Very low capacity (typically 360 KB to 1.44 MB), obsolete for modern large data storage.

  • CD-ROM: Read-only optical disc with capacity around 700 MB; larger than a floppy but small compared to modern needs.

  • Zip Disk: Removable magnetic disk used in the 1990s with capacities like 100 MB–750 MB; still limited.

  • Hard Disk: Magnetic storage inside computers offering tens of gigabytes to multiple terabytes, suitable for storing large amounts of data.

  • Therefore, the hard disk is the correct choice because it provides significantly greater storage capacity than the other listed devices.
