Hard disk: principle of operation and basic characteristics

Hard disks, or, as they are also called, hard drives, are one of the most important components of a computer system. Everyone knows about it. But far from every modern user, even in principle, guesses how the hard disk works. The principle of work, in general, is quite simple for a basic understanding, but there are some nuances here, which will be discussed later.

Questions about the purpose and classification of hard drives?

The question of destination, of course, is rhetorical. Any user, even at the most entry-level level, will immediately reply that the hard drive (aka hard disk, aka Hard Drive or HDD) will immediately reply that it serves to store information.
