Memory generally refers to RAM. Storage or disk space are the phrases you are looking for.
The term "block device" still gets me a bit.
In theory I understand the concept, but in functionality...

mixed up terminology.. still getting used to the terminology..
You need to get the terminology right if you expect to be taken seriously when you say "I'm in IT".

In what context are you finding it confusing?

I edited your original post to have a more descriptive title and added a topical tag at the bottom. Tagging takes some getting used to and knowing what tags are useful or meaningful is something you learn and always has to be adjusted. A topic title should always be thoughtful. When people first see your topic, it's all that they see. So it needs to have enough information in it that someone knows if it is a topic that they are interested in and/or are able to help with.

I don't know.
I think because I generally just work with physical hard drives, and think of them as block devices. But obviously there are so many more things.
Really, anything with blocks is a block device!
