Introduction of Hard Drive

Generally speaking, hard drive a non-volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data. It is a simple, tightly sealed aluminum box that has a filtered air-vent. Inside the box are electronics that direct the read/write head or heads held aloft by a spindly arm and controls the motor which rotates the hard platters.

The hard drive's driver electronics contains the instructions for converting bytes into magnetic domains when data is being recorded onto the hard disks and for translating magnetic patterns into bytes when data is requested by the CPU.

The magnetic surface of hard platters in a hard drive is formatted into tracks (concentric circles) and sectors (pie-like wedges on individual tracks) which can hold a fixed number of bytes. When data needs to be recorded, the hard disk platters rotate at great speeds and passes underneath the hard drive read/write head. The magnetic head produces a magnetic field which magnetizes the corresponding region where data is supposed to be stored. During this process, the surface acquires a magnetic flux or pattern representative of the information being stored.
