The peripherals are referred to all the items that are external to the CPU, main memory and power supply. These includes:

Thumb drive, a floppy disk drive, a hard disk drive, serial ports, parallel port(s), USB ports, a keyboard, a mouse, a network interface, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM drive, a sound system, a modem, a monitor, tape drives, scanners, printers, plotters, and audio, video input devices, etc.

Some of the peripherals use the parallel, USB, and serial ports as their interconnection point to the computer.

Others have their own interface to the system bus.

Indestructible Hard Drive

• Designers wrapped the hard drives in a 0.07-inch-thick watertight aluminum barrier.

• The N2’s ventilation system circulates air during everyday use, but prevents flames from passing through. A fan pulls air from the N2’s front through an S-shaped vent, and out the rear exhaust

• The N2’s ventilation system circulates air during everyday use, but prevents flames from passing through. A fan pulls air from the N2’s front through an S-shaped vent, and out the rear exhaust

• A 0.05-inch steel shell surrounds the entire N2 and protects the drive from falls. The shell also helps deter thieves; an accessory allows users to padlock the front door and also bolt the drive to the floor or a tabletop.

• An inch of custom insulation protects the N2 from temperatures up to 1,550°F. Designers embedded water molecules into the layer; when the temperature rises above 160°F, the droplets evaporate and pull damaging heat away from the drives.

The Silicon Power Armor A80 portable hard drive

• The good: The Silicon Power Armor A80 portable hard drive offers very fast performance, and it's waterproof and rugged. The drive is also compact and nice-looking.

• The bad: The Silicon Power Armor A80 uses an untraditional USB cable.

Trackpad• Pressure-SensitiveTrackpad• detecting pressure from your fingers, which would open the door

for a larger set of commands. It would change how we navigate, and we might be almost there.

• the trackpad on your laptop monitors all five of your fingers, as well as how hard they're pressing on the pad. A set of commands based on how you move your fingers lets you move through the operating system; those commands could give you more control over your experience.
