The Hard Disk is the magnetic disk that stores the bytes, the Drive is the mechanism that writes the data to the disk.
A floppy disk is a rapidly aging -- if not already obsolete -- form of portable storing and transferring data. A floppy disk is either 8", 5" or 3.5", with the 3.5" being more advanced with larger storage space. Still, the maximum amount of space on a floppy is 1.44Mb.
A hard disk is a somewhat obsolete term for a hard drive, which is the central storage of a modern computer until the Solid State Drive technology takes over. Hard drives can be external or internal, and store all data present on a computer. They can range from 40Gb and below to 1Tb (1024 gigs) or higher.
The term "hard disk" was coined because hard drives are composed of rapidly rotating disks, unlike the floppy disk, which is a disk enclosed in a square piece of plastic/metal.
There were variable speed motors for both kinds of drives but that was uncommon for the floppy drives (diskettes).
The hard drive contains several disks. When users store information from their computer program it is saved into the hard drive on a disk. Other types of disk drives have recently become available.
A hard disk drive is the motor and controller of the hard disk, which is the set of platters and spindle.
Various users will use these terms in different or identical ways.
Technically the disk is just the aluminium or glass disk that is coated with a magnetic surface. But all the computer guys I know equate the terms hard disk with hard disk drive.
Hard disk - this is a permanent secondary storage device. It is non-volatile, i.e., its contents are not lost when the computer is shut down. It stores data and information for later use.
Main memory - this is a primary storage location. It is volatile, i.e., its contents are lost when the computer is turned off. It stores data currently being used by the computer.

The main difference between a computer monitor and an LCD TV monitor is the pixel density, which is nearly twice as high on a computer monitor. This is the main reason that a computer monitor is more expensive. In addition, most computer monitors have a 16:10 aspect ratio, while TV monitors have a 16:9 aspect ratio.
