Every day we talk about hard drives, the size, internal, external, memory and lots other stuff about the hard drives. But how many of you know "how does a hard drive work?". Here is a nice article on the functioning of a hard drive. It may not be an elaborate one but still it is pretty good article with most of the basics covered.
Do you know that the hard drive retrieves information in a nano-second? The disc on the hard drive is called "Platter", then we have the extended stick like thing that we use to read/write matter and it is called "the arm". One amazing thing about the arm is that it oscillates around 50 times a second. Copper wire is used as the "head" in most cases. For a detailed working and storage explanation visit the link below....
