Hard Disk Drive Reference Guide

Even though traditional hard disk drives (HDD) are being threatened to a certain extent by solid state drives (SSD), they're still the most popular form of storage in computing today. Hard drives are used in everything from servers to desktops and notebooks and offer higher storage capacities than any other form of commercialized storage. Hard drives are available in capacities up to 2TB (soon to be 3.5TB) and include value, green, performance and enterprise models.
