The term used to describe any storage medium that must be inserted into a storage drive by a person before it can be accessed by the computer system is considered to be a type of off-line storage. Offline storage may also be written as off-line storage and is also called removable storage.

See mass storage for more information.
Also see the “Removable Storage Reference” in the Quick Reference section of Webopedia.
