A hard drive, also referred to as a hard disk drive (HDD) is a high-capacity storage device that functions as a self-contained unit. It contains a hard disk inside, along with a read-write mechanism and is capable of performing high-level storage abilities. Unlike a supplementary storage device, the hard drive is a permanent part of the computer, laptop or other technological devices. It retrieves and stores data. An internal hard drive is located in the drive bay and is connected to the motherboard of the computer processing unit through an ATA, SCSI or SATA cable.
There are multiple components to a hard drive and each of them can fail. These components include: an actuator, a read/write actuator arm, a read/write head, a spindle, a platter and a chassis. The hard drive in your desktop computer hard drive is generally larger than a hard drive for a laptop, they are made up of the same basic parts. On the back of the hard drive, there is a circuit board. This allows the hard drive to communicate with the device it lives in.
