A {peripheral} device that allows a computer to read
or/or write some storage medium such as a {hard disk}, {floppy
disk}, {magnetic tape}, {compact disc} or {DVD}. These would
be called a {disk drive}, {magnetic tape drive}, etc. CD and
DVD drives are known collectively as {optical drives}. When
unqualified the term probably refers to a hard disk drive.

The term "drive" refers particularly to the electrical
components such as electric motors and head positioning
system, read-write heads and associated electronics.

Of the above storage media, typically only hard disks are
fixed, the rest being removable. Most PCs in 2009 include one
disk drive and one optical drive housed in the main PC
enclosure. Extra drives can be connected externally via
{USB}, {SCSI} or {Firewire}. Magnetic tape is always
removable and tape drives are typically external.

Not to be confused with a "driver" meaning {device driver} -
software used to access a peripheral device.
