The hard drive is the main memory where most documents and multimedia files are stored, for example music, images and video's. Not only are these files stored on the Hard Drive but also the Operating System is kept on the Hard Drive. A computer can have more than one Hard Drive and these can either be Internal or External. Disk drives (HDD) come in many different sizes in memory; ranging from Kilo-Bite as the smallest and Terabyte as the largest.
