Storage / Hard Disk

A hard disk is also known as a hard drive or fixed disk. It is said to be rigid magnetic disc that stores data. Hard disk is a non-volatile storage device that contains platters and magnetic disks rotating at high speeds. Non-volatile means the data retains when the computer shuts down.

They were first introduced by IBM in 1956 and, by the early 1980s, these drives were the size of small washing machines and could hold around 64 megabytes of data. ... Based on this technology, disk drive manufacturers can make trade-offs between density, performance, and reliability.

There are three different kinds of hard drives

Hard Disk

Hard disk drive is made up of a series of circular disks called platters arranged one over the other almost ½ inches apart around a spindle. A magnetic reader arm is used to read data from and write data to the disks. A typical modern HDD has capacity in terabytes (TB).

SSD

SSDs are newer solutions for disk storage. They differ from HDD storage solutions because they have no movable parts. SSDs instead rely on flash chips. This makes SSDs extremely fast and less volatile than HDDs. However, SSDs do not have the storage capacity to store terabytes of data like HDD storage. SSDs are good for gaming computers and data that you use often whereas HDDs are good for storage backups and large-capacity data needs.

NVMe

NVMe (nonvolatile memory express) is a new storage access and transport protocol for flash and next-generation solid-state drives (SSDs) that delivers the highest throughput and fastest response times yet for all types of enterprise workloads.
