What Does HDD Stand For?

HDD stands for Hard Disk Drive

HDD, or Hard Disk Drive, is a data storage device that uses magnetic storage to read and write digital information. It consists of one or more rotating disks, known as platters, coated with a magnetic material, and a moving read/write head that accesses the data as the disks spin. HDDs are commonly used in computers and other electronic devices for long-term storage due to their relatively high capacity and cost-effectiveness compared to other storage technologies.
