Where is hard disk on mother board?

a hard disk is a disk inside the hard drive that stores information. A computer's hard disk, or hard drive, is not a part of or mounted on the motherboard, or any of the computer's circuit boards. The drive is installed into some part of the frame within the computer. Its location is not important, because the user does not have to physically access the drive. The hard drive does, however, have a data connection to the motherboard, over which information is transferred to and from the drive.


Is the hard disk drive is part of the motherboard?

No, a hard disk drive is not a part of the motherboard. The mother board is the actual processing unit of the cpu. It performs all the operations and calculations etc while the hard disk is the memory storage unit of the computer. The hard disk is where all the pictures, file, movies, documents etc. are stored in the computer. These files are of course accessed by the motherboard as nothing can happen without the motherboard!
