Hard disk drive A  hard disk drive  ( HDD ),  hard disk ,  hard drive  or  fixed disk [b]  is a  data storage device  that uses  magnetic storage  to store and retrieve  digital  information using one or more rigid rapidly rotating disks ( platters ) coated with magnetic material. The platters are paired with  magnetic heads , usually arranged on a moving  actuator  arm, which read and write data to the platter surfaces. [2]  Data is accessed in a  random-access  manner, meaning that individual  blocks  of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only  sequentially . HDDs are a type of  non-volatile storage , retaining stored data even when powered off.

               Computer Mouse A  computer mouse  is a handheld hardware  input device  that controls a  cursor  in a  GUI  and can move and select  text ,  icons ,  files , and  folders . For desktop computers, the mouse is placed on a flat surface such as a mouse pad or a desk and is placed in front of your computer. The picture to the right is an example of a desktop computer mouse with two buttons and a wheel. Who invented the mouse? The mouse was originally known as the  X-Y Position Indicator  for a Display System and was invented by  Douglas Engelbart  in  1963 while working at  Xerox PARC . However, due to Alto's lack of success, the first widely used application of the mouse was with the  Apple Lisa computer . Today, this pointing device is on virtually every computer. What are the functions of a mouse? Below is a list of each of th...

                        Heat sink A  fan-cooled   heat sink on the processor of a personal computer. To the right is a smaller heat sink cooling   another integrated circuit   of the motherboard. A  heat sink  (also commonly spelled  heatsink [1] ) is a passive  heat exchanger  that transfers the heat generated by an electronic or a mechanical device to a  fluid  medium, often air or a liquid coolant, where it is  dissipated  away from the device, thereby allowing regulation of the device's temperature at optimal levels. In computers, heat sinks are used to cool  central processing units  or  graphics processors . Heat sinks are used with high-power semiconductor devices such as power  transistors  and optoelectronics such as lasers and light emitting diodes (LEDs), where the heat dissipation ability of the component itself is ...
