The letter C is typically used for the what what drive of a computer?
In Microsoft operating systems, the letter C is typically used to indicate the first hard-disk based partition, and typically represents the boot drive. Letters A and B were, historically, allocated to floppy disk drives, while letters C and above are allocated to all other drives and their partitions. Note this is convention, not a requirement. It is possible (but unusual) to change the drive letters in a Windows operating system such that Z, for example, represents the same boot drive. Also note that the habit of allocating letters to different drives is a characteristic of some operating systems (such as CP/M, MS-DOS, and subsequently the Windows family of operating systems). Other operating systems, including the group of Unix (Linux) operating systems, have no notion of a drive letter, but integrate different "drives" into one folder hierarchy. Modern versions of Windows support a similar approach, but this method is not widely used.

These external drives connect via USB ports and are compatible with contemporary operating systems.
