What is plug an play hard drive?

Plug and Play describes hardware (not just hard drives) that can be recognized by an operating system and for which the operating system already has a copy of the "driver". (that's the software that allows the computer to communicate with the hardware) Plug and Play means that when you plug in that type of hardware, the computer will detect it, install the appropriate drivers, make the necessary changes in the configuration, and you need to only wait until it's finished and the device should run properly. Older style hardware and operating systems required that you set an interrupt vector, manually load drivers and make any necessary configuration changes MANUALLY... what a pain.
