Hard disk specifications include capacity (how much data it can store, like terabytes), performance (transfer speed, measured in MB/s, and RPMs), form factor (physical size, typically 3.5-inch for desktops and 2.5-inch for laptops), and interface (how it connects to a computer, such as SATA or NVMe). Other important specs are energy consumption and reliability.
