Desktop hard drives are internal storage devices within a computer that store operating systems, applications, and user files. They equally work for personal computers, workstations, and home offices. They are designed for reliable performance and extended usage and provide storage space for applications, files, multimedia libraries, and backups.
They are available in both HDD (Hard Disk Drive) and SSD (Solid State Drive) formats. They balance performance, capacity, and affordability, which makes them an ideal solution for everyday computing, creative workloads, and data archiving.
Moreover, they are built on GPON, XG-PON, EPON, or NG-PON2 standards, and optical access networks ensure future-ready connectivity for both residential and enterprise deployment.
