Which code does this activity belong in?
Computer storage device manufacturers produce equipment designed specifically for storing and retrieving data using phase change, magnetic, optical, or magnetic/optical media, such as hard disk drives, CD-ROM drives, and tape backup units. This activity is distinct from electronic computer manufacturing, which focuses on assembling the computers themselves, including their integrated storage components. Storage device manufacturers are also separate from other peripheral equipment makers classified in computer terminal and peripheral equipment manufacturing, which covers input and output devices like keyboards, monitors, and scanners.
