hard disks are generally contains within the computer and contain FAR more memory than a floppy disk does. floppy disks generally contain 1.44 mb where as hard drives are constantly developing and are currently about 1TB MAX. floppy disks are external in the same way as CD's
Commonly known as floppy disks. These were preceded by 8" disks.These disks were either hard or soft sectored. The hard sectored disks had holes punched, either at the outside, or inside periphery to indicate the start of a sector.
Computer floppy disks and drives.
The first magnetic disks were introduced by IBM in 1955. These high tech devices held five megabytes of information each and rented for 3,200 dollars per month.
== == Although they were available on large systems used by business, government and other institutions, hard drives in home computers were unheard of until at least the mid 1980's. Even then, They usually cost more than the computer itself, and were physically large, coming in external enclosures the size of a shoebox, and very heavy (noisy too). Yet the storage was only around 10 megabytes (give or take). It didn't even seem like much storage back then, since they could only hold the contents of a few floppy disks, at a very high price. The main advantage was the speed of accessing your files, but even that was much, much slower than today's disks. It wasn't until the early 1990's that internal hard drives became a standard feature on PC's. (and only 30-40 mb at first!) My first computer was in 1984 and was a Tandy computer made by Radio Shack. It didnt even have a hard drive. Everything was done with floppy disk. The big thin kind. I forget the size of it now. My first computer with memory was an IBM in 1990 and it had a whopping 500 mb of memory. Good luck.

"First you must make sure you make backup disks for your computer regularly, when and if your hard drive crashes simply reboot from your back up disks."

If you have an older computer and a knew disk
Hard drives, removable disks, and CDs are ways of storing information for computers. They make the process of backup up or moving data from a computer much easier.

access to ram is a lot faster for your computer
Internal hard disks are inside a computer and are covered by the case
The storage component of your computer, where all your files and operating system are stored.

Basic disks and dynamic disks are two types of hard disk configurations in Windows. Most personal computers are configured as basic disks, which are the simplest to manage. Dynamic disks can make use of multiple hard disks within a computer to duplicate data for increased performance and reliability.
