A hard disk is known as a storage device (and vice versa) because the terms are interchangeable. Your hard drive on your computer is known as secondary storage (RAM is primary storage). This secondary storage is where nearly everything (music, documents, pictures, videos, etc.) is stored on your computer. It goes by the name of Hard drive, hard disk, storage device, and many other names.
