Hard Drive HDD/SSD
Hard drives are the main sources of storage on your computer, which is stored inside the body of the computer. It is used for saving programs, photos, videos, music, and anything you want to save onto the computer. It contains an arm and a disk, which moves as you use and save files on your computer. It is a relatively quick way of accessing files and programs. Todays hard drives come with alot more storage than they used too, with some having several billion bytes (gigabytes) of storage.
SSDs are smaller, more contemporary ways of storing programs and files. They are quick, easy to use devices and have no moving parts. It stands for solid state drive. As they have no vulnerable parts, they can be dropped without breaking. If a hard drive was dropped, the arm would probably snap.
