What's a Hard Drive?
A hard drive also known as HD/HDD, is a Non-volatile memory hardware, meaning if the power is switched of, the data stored will NOT be removed. A hard drive can be used to store any time of data, including videos music documents and also pictures, The amount of data a hard drive can store depends on the storage space of the hard drive. Older hard drives have only a few hundred megabytes, up to date hard drives have several hundred gigabytes or even terabytes
How is the data read?
The data sent to the hard drive in a orderly pattern so everything is in order and not jumbled up, they are stored on tracks and each track is broken into smaller areas called sectors. This is where the data is held, if there is free sectors the hard drive will fill it up with new information.
