Hard disk drive

computer

Hard disk
drive
Is an electro-mechanical data
storage device that stores and
retrieves digital data using
magnetic storage and one or
more rigid rapidly rotating
platters coated with magnetic
material.
computer

Metal Casing
This serves as the housing of all parts of this
HDD.
computer

Spindle Motor
This is a high-speed motor that use to rotate
the hard disk drive platter to store logically
an instruction or data of a computer, example
the old model uses the 7200 RPM of rotation.
computer

Read/ Write Head

It's a tiny magnetic part attached to the
actuator arm that reads and writes the data
stored inside the platter.
computer

Read/ Write Parking

This is a plastic part that use to park the
read/write when upon turning off the
computer. Or in the external USB drive HDD
after ejecting using the Windows operating
system or in any other OS..
computer

Actuator Axis
This is a metal pole where the
actuator arm is hookup, it's a
pole that holds the actuator arm
when moving to the platter and
back to the parking parts...
computer

Logical Interface
Connector
It's a part that used to connect the
interface signal of the HDD mainboard to
the actuator assembly. Whenever the
computer is turned on or a user opens the
drive, a computer mainboard (MOBO) will
address an instruction through the logical
mainboard of HDD that connects to the
actuator read/ write head.
computer

Stopper
It's a plastic part that used to limit the
movement of the actuator assembly to the
platter and back to the parking part.
computer

Actuator Arm
It's the whole assembly of the actuator,
from the coil magnets to the read/write
head.t.
computer

HDD PLATTER
This part is the type made of aluminum and
a substrate with the magnetic medium that
low data to store in a magnetic pattern
with its per platter capable of storing
logical data in a million or billion of bytes or
BITS on the surface of the platter.t.
computer

PLATTER DUST FILTER

This is a dust filter of HDD platter, during
the high-speed rotation it will collect the
dust particle on the surface of the platter.
computer

HDD Mainboard
It's a printed circuit board (PCB) that
composed of a variety of chips like the
ROM and the memory module. There are
two types of data interface connectors,
the IDE and the latest is the SATA. This
mainboard is tasked to manage the
storage of logical data according to the
specified total size of the drive.
