Do you say Hard disk, Hard disc, or Hard Drive?

[zdenka]

Hi guys do u know which term is more appropriate to use? I'm having computer problems and need to email a technician, and I want to make it sound professional. Thanks!

I believe "Hard disk drive (HDD)" should be appropriate...

 

[arianajoladdict]

they are all correct, but i agree hdd is more used

Thanks. But would HDD also mean High Density Drive? I think the technician might mistake it for that.

Thanks. So I'd just write HDD then.

I say disc the same way I say disk.

 

[rizwano]

No, because you are able to actually type the fucking words, "Hard disk drive".

 

[Supafly]

I say 'Hard Disk' ('festplatte')

 

[GregCentauro]

"that thingy where I store the tranny and scat videos"

 

[lurkingdirk]

My disc hasn't been able to get hard for quite some time. I refer to it as my "flaccid drive."

I am in IT and say Hard Drive, the terms are all really interchangeable.

Plus it's not called Danni's Hard Disk, the website is Danni's Hard Drive. :2 cents:

You're learning!


To the OP, just call it a hard drive. There's literally nothing they could mix that up with.

 

[Ziggous]

YPT! (Yay pointless thread!)

Just to amuse you - Hard drive

B-b-b-but....







I don't want to be your computer assistant/lackey anymore. It is nothing like you romanticized it to be.
