Hard Disk Drive

This is the high-capacity, primary storage repository for the computer.  All files, data, and software programs are located and stored here. While RAM Memory can hold files, data, and software programs currently used by the computer only while power is on, the hard disk drive will maintain all the files, data, and software programs in the computer, indefinitely, with or without power.
