System Memory

Random-access memory (RAM) is one of the main components. Ram is the memory needed to access and run programs. Ram chips are now in different types like DRAM, SDRAM, DDR2, etc. RAM speed measured in megahertz (MHz). 8000 MHz could be considered an acceptable access speed. The laptop requires RAM to run the operating system.  The higher the MHz will also make the laptop computer run faster. It allows the laptop computer to run more programs simultaneously, as well as work with large multimedia programs. A web-browsing laptop needs about 2 GB of RAM, while an entertainment laptop can have from 4 to 8 GB of RAM.

USB Drive

Universal Serial Bus (USB) is a technology that allows users to connect an electronic device to a computer. It is the most common type of computer port, and it is a fast serial bus. The use of a USB driver is to transfer the data from one place to another. Users can use it to connect a mouse, keyboard, printers, scanners, digital cameras, mice, game controllers, and removable media drivers. It means a device can be plugged into a free socket and start to work. Sometimes it is used to install software into the computer or laptop. It is also useful to protect your important documents and information.

Is USB input or output devise?

It is both. A flash drive, for instance, is an input device when you're copying files from it and an output device when you're copying files into it. So a USB device is both an input and output device.
