Heads Cylinders Sectors per track Write precompensation Landing zone Hard Disk Components Components of a Hard Disk Platters and Media Read/Write Heads Head Sliders, Arms and Actuator Spindle Motor Stepper Motor Connectors and Jumpers Logic Board Integrated Cache Platter (Tracks should be in Circle) In a platter is made up of Aluminium it only stores data. It is a light material, it has high tolerance, and shape does not change. Under the high centrifugal force that occurs at high rotation. Nowadays platter is made up of ceramic and glass, which have low thermal material. (Rotation speeds: New = 7600-10000 RPM, Old = 3600-5200RPM) Data...
