Key Features
Hard Disk Drives (HDDs) are a staple in data storage, offering the best price-per-gigabyte, especially for capacities over 2TB. They use magnetic platters and moving mechanical parts to read and write data. While mechanical construction makes them slower than SSDs, they remain the preferred choice for users prioritizing massive storage capacity for media, archives, or less frequently accessed data. Common sizes for consumer drives range from 1TB up to 18TB or more.
