Your hard drive is a storage device that comes with every computer. That's where you store your applications and your files. If you play with a lot of photographs, audio files or video, then you're going to want a bigger hard drive. Most computers have space for a second drive, so if you want you can always add more space. When you're getting a second hard drive, just remember that bigger is always better.
