Hard Disk Drive


Hard disk drives was first introduced in 1956 as a data storage device for an IBM accounting computer. Then hard disk drives were originally developed for use with general purpose computers. During the 1990s, large-scale industries needed a reliable storage device that can work independent of a particular device, this lead to the introduction of embedded systems such as RAIDs, network attached storage (NAS) systems, and storage area network (SAN) systems that provide efficient and reliable access to large volumes of data. In the 21st century, HDD usage expanded into consumer applications such as camcorders, cellphones (e.g. the Nokia N91), digital audio players, digital video players, digital video recorders, personal digital assistance and video game consoles.
