Global Mechanical Hard Disk Market Overview:
A hard disk, hard disk drive, hard drive, or fixed disk is an electro-mechanical data storage device, which uses magnetic storage to store and retrieve digital information using one or more rigid fast rotating disks coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with magnetic heads, typically arranged on a moving actuator arm that reads and writes data to the platter surfaces. Data is retrieved in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order. It is a type of non-volatile storage, retaining stored data even when powered off.
