A general-purpose storage device utilizing magnetic storage technology. HDDs are known for offering high storage capacity at a cost-effective price per gigabyte, making them ideal for bulk data storage, backups, and archival. They consist of magnetic platters that spin at a certain speed (RPM), read/write heads, and an actuator arm to access the data. They are non-volatile, meaning data is retained without power. Common form factors are 3.5-inch for desktops/servers and 2.5-inch for laptops/portable devices. Performance is generally slower than SSDs but capacity is significantly higher for the price.
