Explain the role of the disk drive?

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). In all cases, data is retained even when power is removed (non-volatile). Disk drives are located in the Secondary Tier of storage, that is they are not directly accessible to the computer (Primary Tier) but are accessed through an interface such as SCSI, ATA, or USB


Why hard disk is magnetized by iron oxide?

Hard disk drives use a magnetic coating of iron oxide to store data because it can be easily magnetized to represent binary data (0s and 1s). The magnetic polarity of the iron oxide particles can be changed by a magnetic head, allowing data to be written and read from the disk.
