Magnetic Platter based Hard disk drives are widely used but Solid State Drives using Flash Memories providing less seek time - Low Latency are recent advances in Hard disk Technology.
S.M.A.R.T. stands for Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology. S.M.A.R.T. technology was developed by a number of major hard disk drive manufacturers to increase the reliability of hard drives. It is a technology that enables the PC to predict the future failure of hard disk drives. S.M.A.R.T. technology has become an industry standard for hard drive manufacturers.

The reason is that the technology of the days the floppy disk was not as advanced as of today.

Hard Disk Drive (HDD) is, and should be connected to a SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) or PATA(Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment). Connecting to one of these ports will enable the motherboard, or rather the whole computer to read the hard disk drive. Also, it should be connected to one of the power supply cables to be able to power up the hard disk. Sometimes, there are attachments or enclosures that enables the hard disk to connect to a computer using USB.

To get hard disk drive speeds, one may search through many locations. Most websites that sell hard disk drives will allow one to select multiple hard disk drives to compare and contrast them. Once one has selected the hard disk drives to be compared, one can look for speeds offered. In addition, there are many websites that are devoted to the latest and greatest in technology and some of these have comparisons between the different hard disk drives.
Well, it is Serial Advanced Technology Attachment. Hard Disk Drive.
I recommend buying the largest hard disk drive available since technology continues to increase. I think buying a 2TB which stands for 2 terabytes would be great!
A computer hard disk or hard drive (fixed disk) is hardware.
The number of bytes a hard disk can hold is referred to as its storage capacity. This capacity is typically measured in gigabytes (GB) or terabytes (TB), where 1 TB equals approximately 1,000 GB or 1 trillion bytes. The total capacity is determined by the number of platters, the density of data stored on those platters, and the technology used in the hard disk.
