Yes you are able to take out the hard drive, but traditionally that is internal, so under normal circumcises you wouldn't take it out.
A floppy drive and CD/DVD drive you are able to take out floppy disk and Cd's.
So technically the hard drive would not follow under removal storage,
Now that maybe a different story with a portable hard drive, which you can plug into a USB, the same as you would a flash drive.

The hard drive is removable storage but isn't readily replaced or moved to a different machine unless it is hot swapped to a clone. 'Removable Storage' is exactly that 'storage' that can be removed and moved from data access point to data access point. You can load it to another machine that has an access bay/port and read or write files to it natively. No drivers are normally required, the OS treats all removable storage like a floppy disk or flash drive and they plug & play install and uninstall when you remove them. Portable data. And there ARE removable storage hard drives. They are installed into CADDIES that keep all of the cabling and plugs attached to the motherboard and allow the drive to be pulled out. US Gov't likes these. They pull the drives out and lock 'em up so they can't be remotely accessed. The caddies even have locks so they drive can't be removed also

The term "removable storage" refers to the ease of removability.
Sure hard drives are removable, but to do that, you have to disassemble the computer. And, without going through a lot steps, you can not take a hard drive from one computer and simply install it in another and expect it to work.

"Removable storage" refers to the ability to remove the actual magnetic medium on which the information is written (the CD) without having to remove the drive that controls it.
Las time I check, you could not remove the medium (the platters) of a hard drive without also removing the entire drive.

Yes, the hard drive is removable/replaceable but it's fixed integrally and so, is not really considered removable.

Because the media you put files on. is removed from the drives and not permanently part of the media device.

frequently verse 9 is taken out of context , neglecting to show the verses in the previous and after it. right it incredibly is the the instant context, “yet ?don't be referred to as ?Rabbi; for One is your instructor, and you're all brothers. 9 “do no longer call every person in the worldwide your father; for ?One is your Father, He who's in heaven. 10 “don't be referred to as ?leaders; for One is your chief, that's, Christ.” Jesus is handling a lots diverse subject. he's stating the hypocrisy of the Pharisees and instructors of the regulation. In verses 6 and 7 which in the present day precede the rejection of the titles of honor, Jesus explains in what experience His rejection is meant: "and that they love the region of honor at feasts and the main suitable seats in the Synagogues, and salutations in the industry places, and being referred to as rabbi." right here Jesus is commenting on their superiority complexes. they have effectively set God aside and positioned themselves in His place; for that reason the comments on being humbled and being exalted. Bible Christians call their ministers "Pastor." Pastor skill shepherd. In John 10:14-sixteen Jesus says, "i'm the best shepherd. i recognize my very own and my very own recognize me, by means of fact the daddy is common with me and that i recognize the daddy, and that i lay down my existence for the sheep. and that i produce different sheep that are no longer of this fold. i could desire to deliver them additionally, and that they are going to heed my voice. So there'll be one flock, one shepherd." If we reason that we won't be able to call a clergyman Father by means of fact we "have one Father who's in heaven," then will we no longer additionally reason that we won't be able to call a minister Pastor by means of fact there is only "one Shepherd?" placing apart and grabbing carry of one scripture verse is volatile. that's deceptive or maybe risky. Even an elementary and correctly-intentioned Christian can subconsciously bend a verse to healthful his or her very own desires. that's fairly important to understand the Bible as God meant. St. Augustine as quickly as pronounced, "no longer what one scripture says, yet what all of Scripture says." we are able to take it a step added and say, no longer what Scripture says yet what Scripture skill.
