The electronic machine used to store and work with a large amount of information is a computer. Specifically, computers are designed to accept, store, process, and output data according to instructions provided by users. They can store and manipulate large quantities of data at very high speed
. For handling very large volumes of information, mainframe computers are commonly used. These are high-performance computers designed for large information processing jobs, often used by institutions and enterprises. In terms of storage devices within computers that handle large amounts of data, hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) are the primary electronic machines used. HDDs store digital data magnetically on rotating platters and have been the dominant form of secondary storage for decades, capable of storing terabytes of data
. SSDs, which use flash memory, are increasingly replacing HDDs due to faster data transfer rates and reliability
. Thus, the electronic machine that stores and works with large amounts of information can refer broadly to a computer system , with specific components like mainframe computers for very large-scale processing, and storage devices such as HDDs and SSDs for retaining large data volumes
