The primary computer storage device, which spins, reads and writes one or more fixed disk platters. In practice, the terms "hard drive" and "hard disk" are used synonymously. Hard drives are the storage medium in desktop and laptop computers as well as all servers and mainframes throughout the world. They are also used in printers for storing fonts and print jobs as well as MP3 players and a myriad of other portable and stationary computer-based devices. They are used as a storage device to store data. The amount of data stored depends on the disk space or free space available on the hard drive.
