A hard drive is a type of data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks called platters that are coated with magnetic material. A hard drive operates by using a read/write head to read and write data on the platter which is stored in the form of magnetic patterns. Hard drives are the primary storage device used in computers, and are available in several different sizes and capacities.
