Hard Disk
a magnetic data storage platter made from aluminum and coated with
iron oxide used for saving computer data. The hard disk or hard drive usually
refers to the main or permanent storage device of a computer. In the early days
of personal computers, a typical hard disk stored 10 megabytes. It seems that
modern computers have an almost unlimited capacity for data storage with
hard disks now able to store up to 50 gigabytes of data and more in some cases.
