Types of Storage Drives & Their Uses
In a world where everything is done on the virtual platform, from business transactions to personal archives, the significance of data cannot be undermined. This equates to the increasing value of storage drives for computers.

These storage drives come in many forms and designed to cater to specific storage tasks. Nonetheless, they serve the same purpose and that is to hold data or information whether temporarily or permanently.

By definition, a storage drive is computer hardware that stores and retrieves data either in a real-time setting or for longer archiving.

Primary VS Secondary Storage Drives
When it comes to computer storage drives, you can basically place them into two categories: the primary storage drive and the secondary storage drive.

RAM or random-access memory is classified as a primary storage drive. It is an essential component of PCs, tablets, and smartphones responsible for the short-term memory that employs higher speed compared to other forms of storage drives.

Meanwhile, an example of a secondary storage drive is the hard disk drive (HDD) or hard drive as it is commonly known. Secondary storage drives hold data that are kept permanently or for an extended period of time until it is overwritten or deleted for good. HDDs and other drives under this category often have the ability to save data when the power is turned off as opposed to a primary data which simply stores data temporarily, hence, lacking the ability to retrieve lost data.

Storage Drives for Permanent Data
While RAM and other primary storage drives are valuable enough on their own merit, we are going to focus on the storage drives responsible for keeping data for the long-term. That is to say, we are going to explore the different types of secondary data storage drives and their uses.

HDD
Hard disk drives (HDD) used mechanical magnetic platters to store data which includes but not limited to the operating systems, media files, and software applications. It exhibits a rotating pattern arranged in sectors within tracks wherein data is written through moving read/write heads.

There are different types of HDDs based on the interface it uses such as the PATA (Parallel Advanced Technology Attachment), Serial ATA (SATA), and SCSI (Small Computer System Interface).
