    Hard disk drive 1 Hard disk drive Hard disk drive A 2.5" SATA hard drive [1] Date invented 24 December 1954 </ref> Invented by IBM team led by Rey Johnson A hard disk drive (HDD) is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. An HDD retains its data even when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. An HDD consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces. A disassembled and labeled 1997 HDD. All Introduced by IBM in 1956, HDDs became the dominant secondary major components were placed on a mirror, which created the symmetrical reflections storage device for general purpose computers by the early 1960s. Continuously improved, HDDs have maintained this position into the modern era of servers and personal computers. More than 200 companies have produced HDD units, though most current units are manufactured by Seagate, Toshiba and Western Digital. Worldwide revenues for HDD shipments are expected to reach $33 billion in 2013, a decrease of approximately 12% from $37.8 billion in 2012. The primary characteristics of an HDD are its capacity and performance. Capacity is specified in unit prefixes corresponding to Overview of how an HDD functions powers of 1000: a 1-terabyte (TB) drive has a capacity of 1,000 gigabytes (GB; where 1 gigabyte = 1 billion bytes).
