How does a hard drive work?

Hard drive is a device used to store data. Data is recorded on high-speed spinning discs. Each disc is
coated with a film of microscopic magnetised metal grains. All group of grains also known as a bit
used to store data in the form of ones and zeros. Magnetive reader converts strings of bits into useful
informations for computer. The electromagnet is used to record data on the disk transmitted by the
computer. Strings of ones and zeros are used by our computer to interpret information. For example
string of eight ones and zeros (eight bits) represents a letter of the alphabet. But things like a photos
require an average of eight millions bits. Modern hard drive has about 600 gigabits per square inch (1
gigabite is equal to 8 billion bits). It is estimated that this number will rise to twenty terabytes per
square inch in the coming times.
