Computer storage symbols can be found inside of “My Computer” folder, in the control panel, on the desktop and other menus throughout the computer.
Floppy Symbol
Floppy Symbol is still one of the most popular computer storage symbols. Floppy drives are no longer a standard component of a computer system; however, floppy symbol can represent removable storage like USB flash drives if other icons are not available. Floppy discs are no longer used due their bulky size and low storage capacity.
Hard Drive Symbol
Hard Drive symbol is also a very popular symbol in modern computer systems. Hard drives are used to store data, files, and operating systems. Hard drive icons can be found in “My Computer” folder, control panel and device manager. This symbol can also represent removable “external” hard drives which can be moved from one computer system to another.
Cloud Symbol
Cloud symbol is a newer computer symbol which represents remote storage located off-site. Cloud symbol represents the internet where the information is stored and is accessed on-demand. Cloud computing is becoming increasingly popular due to inexpensive high speed internet availability and low storage costs.
