Hard Disks (or hard drives) are mainly used for Primary Storage. Typically most of the data on the computer, and the operating system, are stored on the harddrive. Without a hard drive or similar long-term storage, you would have to store data in RAM. RAM is volatile (temporary) memory which clears when the computer is turned off. Whereas hard drives will store data reliably without power, provided the hard drive and computer are functioning correctly.
Hard drives may also be utilized as overflow space if the computer runs out of RAM. Which harddrives are much slower (typically 50-100 MB/s) than RAM (1,600-8,000 MB/s) it is also far, far larger. Most harddrives are from 80 GB to 2,500 GB these days. This allows virtually limitless space for RAM to overflow to, and allow the system to keep functioning in the event of a RAM shortage. Computers typically only have 4 to 32 GB of RAM.
A computer's internal hard-drive is the main storage device.
A computer hard disk or hard drive (fixed disk) is hardware.
The computer's hard disk is hardware.
Simply connect your external hard disk to your computer. Then select the songs you want to play later, copy them and paste to your computer hard drive. And after disconnecting your external hard disk you can now play the selected songs from your computer hard drive.
The best way, I think to answer that is to define what a computer (or in this case the motherboard of the computer) needs to find or identify a hard disk. A hard disk needs a power source, a connector to attach it to the motherboard, and a controller to talk to the microprocessor of the computer. If any of these things fail the hard disk will not function and the computer will not recognize it. In general when you see the message "hard disk not found" its because the computer can't recognize the hard disk. This can be from a bad cable (that connects the hard disk to the motherboard), no power to the hard disk, or a failed controller. In my experience, its usually a bad cable but there are times when the hard disk itself will fail. Generally, hard disk cables are far more fragile than hard disks.
The OS is stored in the Hard Disk of the computer.
a hard drive is built into the computer whereas a hard disk is seperate
to make the computer function
depends on the computer
No,hard disk is not a peripheral device it is esseintial part of computer
a computer
your computer will crash and you will be without a computer sux to be you hahaha
Hard disk is also called hard drive. It is device where all computer memory is stored.
