It contains one or more platter(s) on which data is written using a magnetic head which moves rapidly over them as they spin. The device is encased in a metal shell to protect the internal components from damage. The amount of data that a hard drive can store is measured in gigabytes or terabytes. HDDs are commonly used in desktop computers, laptops, and servers, due to their high storage capacity and cost-effectiveness.
