CHOOSING THE RIGHT COMPUTER HARDWARE 2
In the process of acquiring good peripheral devices in order to attain the needs of your
business, you need to consider various factors before you make the decision to invest;
nevertheless, this should not be difficult if you know the kind of services that you want (Ariav,
Lindabury & Origlio, 2018). Ariav et, al. (2018) states that there is no such kind of a thing as
one-size-fits-all the solution. Having a little time to learn about the functionalities offered by a
peripheral device, along with the requirement that you have for the peripheral device will help
you in making the decisions about the kind of device that best fits your business requirements. in
our case, Dwayne the owner of Dwayne’s Digital Photography Services has various peripheral
device requirements. For instance, Dwayne takes pictures using high end digital cameras; he

his files before he prints them. Dwayne also needs hard drives so that he can be able to store data
before transferring it between computers. Due to these requirements, I recommend the following
