overheard:
two students walked out of the NUS IT Co-op shop at YIH.
girl asked the guy:”is it hard disk or hard drive?”
this is such a classic geek un-geek kinda question. bemused.
so it’s a hard disk drive. and the disc is inside. but they ususally exist together, and it’s practically interchangeable. and they like to refer to the inside as platters anyway.
