Detailed explanation-1: -Without devices like HDDs that can retain data after they have been turned off, computer users would not be able to store programs or save files or documents to their computers. This is why every computer needs at least one storage device to permanently hold data as long as it is needed.
Detailed explanation-2: -Hard disks can store up to 2TB (terabytes) of data, and are considered ‘fixed’ (permanent) drives as they cannot be removed from the computer unlike other storage devices.
Detailed explanation-3: -A hard drive is a critical component of many computers. The device stores your programs and data regardless of whether your PC is turned on or off.
