What is a Hard Drive? 

Commonly written HDD (Hard Disk Drive), this storage device usually presents itself with 2 platters on which an actuator arm reads and writes information. 

On the hard drive will be stored all your data: 

pictures, documents, videos

programs, apps

and more

If your HDD fails completely, your data will be gone, including programs like QuickBooks or Microsoft Word. 

It's no secret that many home PCs use hard drive storage that is susceptible to damage during a move, storm, excessive humidity or dry air, or simply because of static. 

Luckily, the vast majority of hard drives fail in stages. Data recovery is totally or partially possible, depending on the state of your hard drive.

A hard drive stores data even when your device is disconnected. If you experience a hard drive failure, replacement in needed.
