A hard disk drive (HDD, also commonly shortened to hard drive and formerly known as a fixed disk) is a digitally encoded non-volatile storage device which stores data on rapidly rotating disks with magnetic surfaces (hard disk platters). Strictly speaking, "drive" refers to an entire unit containing hard disk, read/write head assembly, driver electronics, and motor while "hard disk" (sometimes "platter") refers to the storage medium itself.
Hard disks were originally developed for use with computers. In the 21st century, applications for hard disks have expanded beyond computers to include video recorders, audio players, digital organizers, and digital cameras. In 2005 the first cellular telephones to include hard disks were introduced by Samsung and Nokia. The need for large-scale, reliable storage, independent of a particular device, led to the introduction of configurations such as RAID, hardware such as network attached storage (NAS) devices, and systems such as storage area networks (SANs) for efficient access to large volumes of data.
