Friends, we understand the meaning of hard disk which is used to store any data. And this meaning is absolutely perfect. But what has the hard disk manufacturing done?

Hard Disk Colour Code

Hard disk is a very important part of the computer system. When you buy a hard disk or think about buying a hard disk, you pay attention to only one thing: storage. Meaning, do you think how much GB of hard disk storage should be taken, 500GB or 1 TB? , And we select the hard disk according to GB. But before buying a hard disk, along with the storage, one more thing you should pay special attention to is the color code of the HDD. Because the purpose of the hard disk is defined by the color code of the HDD.

If you search on Amazon or Flipkart by typing 1 TB internal hard disk, you will see different colors of HDD. If we talk about hard disk manufacturing company WD, then inside WD you get to see 6 types of hard disk colors. But you do not pay attention to all those colors or you do not know about the colors of these 6 types of hard disks.
