Hard Drive

A hard drive is a part of your computer that stores all your files and data, like documents, photos, music, and programs. Think of it as the computer’s “filing cabinet.” Even when the computer is off, the hard drive keeps all your information safe until you need it again.

There are two main types of hard drives:

1. Traditional Hard Drive (HDD): Uses a spinning disk to read and write data. It’s reliable and usually has lots of storage space but can be slower.
2. Solid State Drive (SSD): Newer and faster than a traditional hard drive, with no moving parts. It makes the computer feel quicker and more responsive but can be more expensive for the same storage.
