Does a commodore 64 have a hard drive?

Answer 1

The Commodore 64 did not come with a hard drive installed and at its release there was no hard drive offer available either. You could either hook up a tape drive using normal music tapes or a floppy disk drive using 5 1/2 inch disks. Eventually other storage formats were created by competitors and the first hard drive was made by Lt. Kernal in 1984 and later also Creative Micro Designs (CMD) came with an offering. Both of these were expensive at the time and is today very collectable in spite of the many cheap SDCard offerings made in recent times for the old 8bit micro.
