storage drive
Digital filing cabinet
A storage drive is a device that stores digital data—hard drives, solid-state drives, USB flash drives, and optical drives all qualify.
The term emphasizes the drive's function as a repository rather than its mechanism.
I need to back up my files to an external storage drive.
In everyday use, often shortened to just "drive."
