Italian word

disco

disk (hard disk, disk drive); also: disc (music), disco (nightclub music genre)

Looks like

disk / disco

disk (hard drive, storage medium); disco = music genre/dance style

⚠️ The trap

'Disco rigido' = hard disk drive. But 'disco' alone in Italian also means a music record and the disco music/nightclub genre. English speakers may confuse 'disco' (Italian for disk/record) with the English word for the dance music genre.

To say "disk (hard drive, storage medium); disco = music genre/dance style" in Italian:

disco (for all meanings)

"disco" in English means:

disk (hard disk, disk drive); also: disc (music), disco (nightclub music genre)

Example

"Il disco rigido del mio PC ha solo 10 GB liberi."

"My PC's hard drive has only 10 GB free."
