Hard Drive Components Read-write arm swings read-write head back and forth across platter. Actuator that moves the read-write arm. In older hard drives, the actuators were stepper motors. Central spindle allows platter to rotate at high speed. 3 Magnetic platter stores information in binary form. Small spindle allows read-write arm to swing across platter. 5 Plug connections link hard drive to circuit board in personal computer Flexible connector carries data from circuit board to read-write head and 8. 6. Read-write head is a tiny magnet on the end of the read-write arm. platter. SCSISHOPTD Circuit board on underside controls the flow of data to and from the platter.

A hard disk drive (HDD) is a data storage device used for storing and retrieving digital information using rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. An HDD retains its data even... when powered off. Data is read in a random-access manner, meaning individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order rather than sequentially. An HDD consists of one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) with magnetic heads arranged on a moving actuator arm to read and write data to the surfaces.
