Computer hardware is generally categorized into several primary types based on function and location within or around the computer system. Internal hardware consists of components housed inside the main computer case, such as the motherboard, CPU, RAM, and storage drives, which perform the core processing and data retention tasks. External hardware or peripherals consist of devices connected to the outside of the computer, divided further into input devices (like keyboards and mice that send data to the computer), output devices (like monitors and speakers that display or project data from the computer), and storage devices (like flash drives) used for portable data backup.
