HARD DISK

A hard disk is also known as hard drive or fixed disk. It

is said to be rigid magnetic disk that stores data.
Hard disk is a non-volatile storage device that contains
platters and magnetic disks rotating at high speed.
 Its main components include a read/write actuator
arm, head actuator, read/write head, spindle and
platters.
 A circuit board (also called as the interface board or
disk controller)is present on the back of a hard drive.
 It lets the hard drive to communicate with
computer..
 Non volatile means data retains when the computer
shuts down.
 FUNCTIONS OF HARD DISK

 Hard disk is a secondary storage device, which is

designed to store data permanently.
 The secondary storage data include a large storage
capacity as compared to the primary storage device.
 The data stored in hard disk can be of many types such
as operating system, installed software, documents and
other files of computer.
ADVANTAGES OF HARD DISK

One of the significant advantage of a hard disk drive is

that its cost is low.
Another advantage of a hard disk is that it is readily
available in the market.
Hard disk is faster than optical disks.
The capacity of storing the data in HDDs is large.
DISADVANTAGES OF HARD DISK

The speed of reading and writing in HDD is slower

than the RAM.
HDDs are noisy.
Another disadvantage of HDD is energy inefficiency.
HDDs consume more power.
The form factor of HDDs is heavier than the SSDs.
