About the HD:
A hard drive stores all your files, including your movies, pictures, documents, music, programs, operating system, and everything else on your computer. If you have a lot of files on your computer, or a small hard drive, it is a good idea to get a bigger hard drive so you don't run out of space.
Memory VS. Hard Drives
Many times memory (RAM or Random Access Memory) is confused with your hard drive. A hard drive stores all your files, including your movies, pictures, documents, music, programs, operating system, and everything else on your computer. Memory, on the other hand, is something your computer uses to temporarily store your files when you are using them.
When you open a file on your computer, the computer reads the file off your hard drive. Once the computer has found and read the file from your hard drive, it puts that file temporarily into memory. When the file is in memory, it allows your computer to read and write to the file really fast When you are done working on the file, it saves it back onto the hard drive and clears it from memory.
How to check the capacity of your current Hard Drive:
In order to know what size Hard Drive you currently have in your computer you can do one of the following:
1. Click on the HD icon on your desktop, then press the Apple key (right next to the space bar, and the "I" key. This will bring up information about your HD.
