Best Answer

The Hard Disk and the Processor are actually different things.

If you were a computer, your brain would be the processor.

If you had a box of stuff in front of you, that would be your hard disk drive, where you store your stuff. A hard disk drive is a type of storage device. It is a high-capacity, fast storage medium compared to other mediums such as CD-Roms and Floppy Disks.

(Memory would be like having hands to pick up stuff from the box. If you have more memory, you would be able to hold more stuff before having to stash it back in the box to get a different item.)

Is a microprocessor an example of a peripheral?

A micro processor is commonly thought to be the central processing unit of a computer system. This CPU may contain peripheral devices on the same chip, and connects to peripheral devices located on different chips. Thus, a micro processor is not commonly thought to be a peripheral. However, a micro processor is often used to create a peripheral device. For example, a hard disk drive is a peripheral device to your PC's CPU. However, the electronics within that hard disk drive itself may contain another micro processor. This micro processor acts as the CPU within the realm of the hard disk drive, but towards the total PC system, it implements a peripheral device of the central processing unit.
