German term or phrase: Aufnahmegerät
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.
