    Peripheral devices are external components that provide input/output functions for a computer but are not essential for basic tasks. Peripherals enhance the user experience and include input devices like keyboards and mice, output devices like monitors and printers, storage devices like hard drives and USB drives, and communication devices like modems and routers. Peripheral devices are classified into four main categories: input devices that allow data/instructions to enter the computer, output devices that display/communicate data out of the computer, storage devices that preserve data, and communication devices that connect computers to networks and the internet.

    Peripherals Devices

    ipheral Deviceis defined as the device which provides input/output functions for a computer
    and serves as an auxiliary computer device without computing-intensive functionality. Generally
    peripheral devices, however, are not essential for the computer to perform its basic tasks, they can be
    thought of as an enhancement to the user’s experience. A peripheral device is a device that is connected to
    a computer system but is not part of the core computer system architecture. Generally, more people use the
    term peripheral more loosely to refer to a device external to the computer case.
    Classification of Peripheral devices:
    It is generally classified into 3 basic categories which are given below:
    1.Input Devices:
    The input devices is defined as it converts incoming data and instructions into a pattern of electrical signals
    in binary code that are comprehensible to a digital computer.
    Example:
    Keyboard, mouse, scanner, microphone etc.

    Keyboard: A keyboard is an input device that allows users to enter text and commands into a computer system.

    Mouse: A mouse is an input device that allows users to control the cursor on a computer screen.

    Scanner: A scanner is an input device that allows users to convert physical documents and images into digital
    files.

    Microphone: A microphone is an input device that allows users to record audio.

    2. Output Devices:
    An output device is generally reverse of the input process and generally translating the digitized signals
    into a form intelligible to the user. The output device is also performed for sending data from one computer
    system to another. For some time punched-card and paper-tape readers were extensively used for input, but
    these have now been supplanted by more efficient devices.
    Example:
    Monitors, headphones, printers etc.

    Monitor: A monitor is an output device that displays visual information from a computer system.

    Printer: A printer is an output device that produces physical copies of documents or images.

    Speaker: A speaker is an output device that produces audio.


    3. Storage Devices:
    Storage devices are used to store data in the system which is required for performing any operation in the
    system. The storage device is one of the most requirement devices and also provide better compatibility. 
    Example:
    Hard disk, magnetic tape, Flash memory etc.

    Hard Drive: A hard drive is a storage device that stores data and files on a computer system.

    USB Drive: A USB drive is a small, portable storage device that connects to a computer system to provide
    additional storage space.

    Memory Card: A memory card is a small, portable storage device that is commonly used in digital cameras and
    smartphones.

    External Hard Drive: An external hard drive is a storage device that connects to a computer system to provide
    additional storage space.

    4. Communication Devices:
    Communication devices are used to connect a computer system to other devices or networks. Examples of
    communication devices include:

    Modem: A modem is a communication device that allows a computer system to connect to the internet.

    Network Card: A network card is a communication device that allows a computer system to connect to a network.

    Router: A router is a communication device that allows multiple devices to connect to a network.
