A Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is a type of non-volatile storage device which stores digital data on rapidly rotating disks called platters. HDDs are the most common form of internal computer storage, and they are used in all types of computers from PCs to servers. They have been around since 1956 and have evolved significantly over the years, with capacities ranging from 20MB to 16TB or more.
The primary advantage that HDDs offer is their affordability compared to other forms of storage such as SSDs or flash drives. In addition, HDD’s can store large amounts of data for long periods without needing power unlike RAM or ROM memory devices which require constant power supply in order to retain information stored within them.
Furthermore, due to its mechanical nature, HDD’s provide access times that are faster than those offered by slower optical media like CD-ROMS and DVD’s. This makes it ideal for applications requiring quick access times such as gaming consoles, media players, etc.
Finally, another benefit provided by hard disk drives is their durability; they can generally withstand shocks much better than solid state drives due to the fact that there aren’t any delicate components inside an HDD like there would be with an SSD drive – this means less risk when transporting your files across different locations!
Additionally, if you ever need additional capacity then simply adding another hard disk drive will increase your total available space instantly without having replace existing hardware components – making them very cost effective solutions when dealing with larger projects spanning multiple machines/devices at once!
