Using the Hard Disk Drive
Your computer comes with a removable hard disk drive as drive C. A hard
disk drive is a storage device with non-removable, rotating, magnetic
storage platters inside it. It is where your operating system and application
software programs are stored.
Your hard disk drive is a 2.5-inch SATA (serial ATA) hard disk drive. This type
of drive embodies the latest in fast, reliable mass storage by integrating all
the control circuitry necessary for operation directly onto the drive itself.
You can enable the Advanced Host Controller Interface (AHCI), a
programming interface for SATA host controllers. AHCI defines transactions
between the SATA controller and software and enables advanced
performance and usability with SATA. When the SATA AHCI mode is
enabled, your system can support SATA native command queuing,
aggressive power management, and so on.
The system may come with an optional heater that automatically turns on
for low temperature operation.
