HARD DISK

Hello guys today, I Rajarsh a.k.a yash shukla will tell you about the most important topic in hardware
That is HARD DISK

HARD DISK TYPES AND USES

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.

ATA DEVICES - HDDs are accessed over one of a number of bus types, including as of 2011 parallel ATA (PATA, also called IDE or EIDE; described before the introduction of SATA as ATA), Serial ATA (SATA), SCSI, Serial Attached SCSI (SAS), and Fibre Channel. Bridge circuitry is sometimes used to connect HDDs to buses with which they cannot communicate natively, such as IEEE 1394, USB and SCSI.
Modern HDDs present a consistent interface to the rest of the computer, no matter what data encoding scheme is used internally. Typically a DSP in the electronics inside the HDD takes the raw analog voltages from the read head and uses PRML and Reed–Solomon error correction to decode the sector boundaries and sector data, then sends that data out the standard interface. That DSP also watches the error rate detected by error detection and correction, and performs bad sector remapping, data collection for Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology, and other internal tasks.   

 INTEGRITY    AND   FAILURE       

This is the most important part to understand.Due to the extremely close spacing between the heads and the disk surface, HDDs are vulnerable to being damaged by a head crash—afailure of the disk in which the head scrapes across the platter surface, often grinding away the thin magnetic film and causing data loss. Head crashes can be caused by electronic failure, a sudden power failure, physical shock, contamination of the drive's internal enclosure, wear and tear, corrosion, or poorly manufactured platters and heads.so its my advice to safely handle the disk as they are very sensitive and the platters may broke into pieces. just like the below example   

                                  

you dont want your hdd to be broken just like above one so please handle it carefully.

if you have any queries than you can just whatsapp me #9559231069

or you can leave a comment

beside all this you can message me on fb.  click on facebook icon to redirect......
