German term

Aufnahmegerät

German to English Tech/Engineering Computers: Hardware radiology
Peripheriegerät
Sammelbegriff für jegliche, an einen Rechner angeschlossene Geräte (Aufnahmegeräte, Massenspeicher, Drucker, Tastatur, Maus, Bildschirm usw.).

Is there a collective term for this word in English? I guess it could be anything from an x-ray device to a scanner, camera, etc.
Proposed translations (English)
5 +7 recording device
3 +1 peripherals?

agree Harry Borsje : possible, although maybe this just refers to the Windows XP category of 'scanners and cameras' (not many people hook up recording devices to their PC)

peripherals?

did you mean to ask for the most general term?
That would include anything that can be attached for the purpose of recording, processing, storing, printing....
