The role of a disk drive is to store (write) and retrieve (read) digital information for a computer system.
Storage may be either on magnetic disks (Hard Disk Drive - HDD), in semiconductors (Solid State Drives - SSD), or it may use a combination of magnetic disks and semiconductors (Hybrid Hard Disk Drive - HHDD).
