Best answer 37 votes 37 votes A disk driver is a device driver that allows a specific disk drive to communicate with the remainder of the computer. A good example of this driver is a floppy disk driver.

Such parts include items on the following list: Processors RAMs Compact disc (called CD) and digital versatile disc (called DVD) drives (including player and burner). Mouse and keyboard Integrated video cards PC speaker (the speaker inside the computer case that beeps) Floppy drives Hard drives USB flash drives (or thumb drive) USB webcams USB sound cards USB hubs (devices that turn one USB port into two or more) so it is saying that the computer do not need device drivers to identify disks,RAMs ?? pls clarify this!! 0 votes 0 votes KartikGawande commented Nov 12, 2022 reply Follow Share Here’s how i thought: Whatever is not inherently present in the hardware of the computer needs a driver. Disk seemed to be the most appropriate choice. 0 votes 0 votes Please log in or register to add a comment.
