Computer Hard Drive
Information
Computer hard drives enables you to write programs, operating systems, music and your data. So you know what that means, if your computer hard disk fails, so will all of your data. Basically is the most important piece in your computer which holds all of your computer information inside.
What is a Hard Drive
Your computer hard drive information is transferred via a cable system, or through a wireless connection to a hard disk controller, which in most systems is built into the motherboard, or in some systems installed as an add-in card. The information that comes from your hard drive through its controller is then made available to the components of your computer.
The effectiveness of your hard drive (its performance) depends on how much of its capacity remains unused, how well organised the data is (known as fragmentation) and its data transfer rate, which in turn is dependent on its connection type and the drive's spin rate.
Choosing a Hard Drive
Buying the right hard drive requires research, thought, and patience. There are a lot of hard drives out there - this article will help you narrow down your search and pick the hard drive that's right for you.
First of all, when buying a hard drive, just pick the cheapest you can, if you want a little more speed then pick a high R.P.M hard drive but to be honest with you doesn't make much difference to the visual eye.
PATA or SATA
PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment, also known as IDE drives) and SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment).
In most cases, SATA drives are a better choice for a few reasons—they're slightly faster, they're easier to install, and they don't require you to configure jumpers as PATA drives do. Nonetheless, the performance tends to be similar. So I would recommend buying a SATA hard drive nowadays.
Internal Hard Drive
This type of hard drive is the one that goes inside the computer, it's usually cheaper than an external drive but it requires installing it to your computer.
External Hard Drive
This type of drive goes outside the computer connected via USB or Firewire, the good thing about this drives is the portability, you can store music, videos, music, even games and take them anywhere but these drives cost a bit more. Extremely useful if you like to backup your files frequently.
