The hard drive stores system files, software, and data files inside
your computer. When you install software, download files from
the Internet, receive e-mail and attachments, or create new files,
the computer saves them on your hard drive. The available
storage space is gradually used. To regain storage space, you can
either delete files or programs loaded on your computer.
These devices connect
with stereo cable (3.5 mm
plug) available at most
electronic stores and
computer retailers.
