And yet so many people have no idea that hard disk drives even exist! Truly it is a pity.



Well, first let’s start with a history lesson. The HDD was invented by IBM in 1956, and was the first device of its kind, which reads and writes data magnetically on a platter. Since its invention about 65 years ago, these devices have only gotten more efficient (in addition to be being made much smaller!). Most people assume that Apple makes the hard disk drives for their computers, but the top manufacturers are actually not manufacturers of computers, like Seagate, Samsung, and Toshiba. But there are actually more than 200 companies worldwide that make the devices for different machines.
