жесткие диски - (Russian domain confirmation)

    Can any Russian native speakers confirm this keyword for me. Is this the correct, prime term for "Hard Drives"? Is it a stand alone word?

    Hi,

    I do not live in russia for a long time, so I cannot be an expert on how good it sounds - for that you need to know if it sounds a technical term, or everyday lingo. And imho, you need to know if seeking this word in plural or in singular is more natural to the russia-dweller.

    But this term definitely means hard drives. Yandex.ru and Rambler.ru generate 15-17 million searches for the term, when searched for the term _exactly as is_. When searched for in the standard form (the default choice of the search engines. I think they add the singular form of the word, and various other forms if you don't ask them to perform an exact search), the term generates 32-34 million searches.

    But I think you also need to know if the term _sounds good_, clicks well. And for that you need a russia-dweller, try posting to some russian forums. You can use google translate to register, and post you question in english.
