SYSTEM FOR STORING DIGITAL DATA. IT CONSISTS OF ONE OR MORE PLATES OR HARD DRIVES, UNITED BY A COMMON

SHAFT ROTATING AT HIGH SPEED INSIDE A SEALED METAL BOX. ON EACH PLATE, AND ON EACH OF ITS FACES, A HEAD READ / WRITE FLOATING ON AIR FOIL

GENERATED BY DISC ROTATION IS SITUATED. IT IS NONVOLATILE MEMORY.

HARD DRIVE

IT IS A DEVICE, PARTLY INSPIRED KEYBOARD TYPEWRITERS, WHICH

USES AN ARRANGEMENT OF BUTTONS OR KEYS, TO ACT AS
