heya,
Some of the differences “…between a hard disk drive and a floppy disk drive…”include:
A hard disk accompanied by a mechanical device with moving parts
vs. floppy disk that moves in a plastic enclosure or sleeve.
A hard disk with internal parts that are powered by electricity
vs. a floppy disk that moves only in relation to a device it’s inserted into
A hard disk that’s installed often for the life of a computer
vs. floppy disks that, back when they were popular, were inserted and removed routinely as needed.
A hard disk is typically capable of higher storage capacities and years ago might have been just 10 or 20 MB. Today hard disks are routinely 2 TB or more.
vs: floppy disks were typically limited to 1.44 MB and smaller.
Hard disk drive technology has substantially improved while continuing to be integral to most computers
vs. floppy disks have had a limited lifetime that ended in terms of product enhancement in the last 1990’s and in 2003 started being optional on most new PCs. (The Wikipedia article notes: As of January 2007, only 2% of computers sold in stores contained built-in floppy disk drives.)
