hard disk
(In contrast to {floppy disk}). One or more rigid
{magnetic disks} rotating about a central axle with associated
read/write heads and electronics, used to store data. Most
hard disks are permanently connected to the drive (fixed
disks) though there are also {removable disks}.
High speed disks have an {access time} of 28 milliseconds or
less, and low-speed disks run 65 milliseconds or more. The
higher speed disks also transfer their data faster than the
slower speed units.
Each surface of each disk is divided into a number of evenly
spaced concentric circular {tracks}. The set of all tracks at
a given radius on all surfaces (the tracks which can be
accessed without moving the heads) are known as a {cylinder}.
Each track is divided into {sectors}.
Disk drives are commonly characterised by the kind of
interface used to connect to the computer, e.g. {ATA}, {IDE},
{SCSI}.
See also {winchester}.
