I/O Device Management

I/O Device Management involves coordinating how a computer communicates with its external devices, such as keyboards, printers, or disks. It ensures data is transferred smoothly between the device and the computer's memory, managing multiple devices efficiently. This process uses specialized software called device drivers and controllers to handle requests, prevent conflicts, and optimize performance. Effective management ensures that devices operate correctly, data is accurate, and resources are used efficiently, allowing users to interact seamlessly with hardware components in their systems.
