A machine that reads data from and writes data onto a disk. A disk drive rotates the disk very fast and has one or more heads that read and write data.There are different types of disk drives for different types of disks. For example, a hard disk drive (HDD) reads and writes hard disks, and a floppy drive (FDD) accesses floppy disks. A magnetic disk drive reads magnetic disks, and an optical drive reads optical disks.Disk drives can be either internal (housed within the computer) or external(housed in a separate boxthat connects to the computer).

Flash-based usb thumb drives are also frequently referred to as "removable hard disks." Even though they are not hard disks at all the OS treats them as such, and so for all practical purposes they can be considered removable hard disks.
