Hard drive is short for hard disk drive and "it houses the hard disk, where all your files and folders are physically located" (http://www.techterms.com/definition/harddrive). This data gets stored on the hard drive magnetically, meaning it will still be there when the computer is turned off. Function The function of the hard drive is to store all the data on your computer such as pictures, music, videos, and text. It also contains the operating system, archives data for long term storage and can transfer large amounts of data. Description and concrete example of how it affects the end user The hard drive is needed to run your operating sytem, save assignments, save in progress and completed work and powerpoints. The hard drive will be important for you because you will need to save things on your computer. Recommendations I would recommend a hard drive with a capacity of 160GB for a student. That will provide enough storage for documents, e-books, powerpoints, music, picture, etc. |
