Hard Disc Drive Description<br />

• The plates are manufactured to amazing tolerances and are mirrorsmooth<br />

and typically spin at 3,600 or 7,200 rpm when the drive is<br />

operating.<br />

• The light and fast-moving arm holds the read/write heads and is<br />

controlled by the voice-coil actuator. The arm is able to move the<br />

heads from the hub to the edge <strong>of</strong> the drive and can do this, back<br />

and forth, up to 50 times per second.<br />

• In order to keep the magnetic head as close to the disk surface as<br />

possible, a self-pressurized air-bearing design is used for the sliders.<br />
