Where does the hard disk drive connect to?

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.

Which hard disk is the number of bytes a hard disk can hold?

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.
