Internal storage disks<br />

Hard disk drives are the critical repository of mass storage for PCs and enterprise<br />

systems. HDDs store all the data and file systems that run on the computer, and the<br />

actual disk drive consists of both mechanical and electrical components. HDDs store,<br />

read and write data through very sophisticated magnetic recording processes. Data is<br />

stored on discs, called ‘platters’, which are made from special magnetic coating on<br />

glass or aluminum substrates. Platters are stacked on top of each other with the help<br />

of a spindle motor, which rotates the platters at high speeds. Seagate, Western<br />

Digital, Hitachi GST, Fujitsu, Samsung, and Toshiba are the major participants in the<br />

HDD market.<br />
