Best Answer

An PC kept for entertainment purposes would need the large HDD to store audiovisual/multimedia files. These files generally range in size depending on their type but their better quality versions are usually larger in size.

For example: a 3 minute MP3 at 128 kbps (kilobytes per second) is roughly 3 MB large, the same MP3 at 320 kpbs can be 7 MB or larger.

What is the advantage of using a disk controller to control the hard disk?

The use of a separate disk controller frees the CPU to perform other tasks. In particular, the disk controller can manage DMA transfers, which otherwise would have to be done by the CPU. The disk controller also manages the movement of the disk head and reading or writing of the data on the disk. Again, without the disk controller, the CPU would be forced to perform these operations.
