Hard disk drives
HDDs record data by magnetizing ferromagnetic material directionally, to
represent either a 0 or a 1 binary digit. They read the data back by detecting
the magnetization of the material. A typical HDD design consists of a spindle
that holds one or more flat circular disks called platters, onto which the data
is recorded |
Hard disk drives
Hard Disk :- A type of storage medium that retains data as magnetic patterns on
a rigid disk, usually made of a magnetic thin film deposited on an aluminium or
glass platter. Magnetic read/write heads are mounted on an actuator that
resembles a record needle pickup arm, pdf file |

How a hard
drive works A hard drive is constructed basically of a sealed metal housing
that protects magnetically coated platters, a group of read/write heads and an
electrical motor. In combination, these elements are used to both read and write
data to the surface of a platter, which is the basic means of storage for many
computers |
How hard disks work hard disk drive (HDD, also known as hard disk, hard drive, fixed disk, fixed
drive, fixed disk drive, or the now near-obsolete usage hard file) is a
non-volatile, digitally encoded data storage device that stores data on a
magnetic surface layered onto hard disk platters, ... |
